Former heavyweight title challenger Dillian Whyte will close out 2024 with his second fight of the year, facing Ghanaian heavyweight Ebenezer Tetteh on December 15 in Gibraltar. The announcement was made during Saturday’s DAZN broadcast featuring Chris Billam-Smith vs. Gilberto Ramirez.
Whyte (30-3, 20 KOs) last fought in March, defeating Christian Hammer via a third-round stoppage. The 36-year-old Londoner, known for victories over Robert Helenius, Joseph Parker, and Oscar Rivas, has endured setbacks against Anthony Joshua, Alexander Povetkin, and Tyson Fury. Whyte was slated for a 2023 rematch with Joshua, but a positive test for a banned substance derailed those plans, later attributed to a contaminated supplement.
Tetteh (23-1, 20 KOs), also 36, hails from Accra, Ghana. Despite a first-round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in 2019, Tetteh has rebounded with four consecutive wins, most recently stopping Ayaovi Agbonson in April.
This clash, broadcast live on DAZN, promises to be an intriguing heavyweight encounter.
