Whyte mentioned several times that Joshua was "fake" so I wonder whose version of events is real on this issue. Not that Whyte is "fake", he might have just forgot about this (if Larry's story is legit)...
Larry Olubamiwo, the man who was recently stopped in one round by Hughie Fury, says that they've sparred extensively and he dropped Dillian Whyte twice while training for his fight with Sam Sexton in 2012. This sparring session happened only about 6 months after Whyte first turned pro but Larry says it's on video and he has the recording!
Whyte says in the subsequent video that he's never been dropped inside or outside the ring, although this is just a general statement that he's making to the interviewer about Joshua's prediction that he'll stop Dillian early.
Both these interviews took place in the last few days and it'll be interesting to hear Dillian's reaction to Larry's claims.
3:10 - Olubamiwo: I dropped Dillian Twice
2:40 - Dillian Whyte: I Never been dropped inside or outside the ring.
One thing that should be noted is after that specific fight in 2012, Olubamiwo was actually banned from boxing for PEDs after 13 banned substances were found in his body so it's guaranteed that whether Whyte went down or not in sparring, he was up against someone on PEDs.
So what if he got dropped? look where dillian is and look where the other guy is. Khans never been dropped in sparring aparently but hes been knocked out in the ring.
Dillian has apparently been asked about this by IFL TV and they're uploading the response video in the next few days. Will be interesting to hear what he says.
