Whyte returned to action after it was determined through investigations that tainted supplements were the source of his positive drug test, forcing him to pull out of his fight with Anthony Joshua originally scheduled for August 2023.
The 35-year-old boxer has previously competed against Tyson Fury, Alexander Povetkin, and Robert Helenius. In his last fight, he won by a majority decision over Jermaine Franklin in 2022. Previously, Whyte lost to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury via sixth-round TKO.
On the other hand, Hammer is a former three-time WBO European heavyweight champion. He holds a 27-11 professional boxing record and was coming off a defeat against Joe Joyce in 2022.
Dillian Whyte's thoughts on his win over Christian Hammer
On St. Patrick's Day, Dillian Whyte made a spectacular comeback to boxing at the TF Royal Hotel in Castlebar, Ireland, stopping Christian Hammer in the third round. However, 'The Body Snatcher' is not pleased with his opponent due to how the fight ended.
In a recent interview with Seconds Out, Whyte discussed his thoughts on the fight against Hammer. He criticized Hammer by saying:
''Christian Hammer is a coward. No one should ever pay him to step in the ring again, he's a coward. He came out swinging, balls to the wall and then he just melted like if he's a sausage.''
