During his fight week media obligations, Whyte shared with multiple outlets exactly what he wants to consider the rest of a finite boxing career an outright success. After all, he hasn't got much longer left...
In an interview with talkSPORT, he said: "I want to get back into tough fights, always taken them.. don't want to wait around and have four or five warm-ups. We spoke to DAZN, came to an agreement to get a quick turnaround. The fight was made two weeks ago so I can get out and then next year, in position to chase the big fights."
Ghana's Tetteh (23-1, 20 KOs) is the same age as Whyte at 36 and has an even more impressive record than the Body Snatcher on the surface and is riding a four-fight win streak to boot - all by stoppage - albeit all in Africa against opposition we don't know much about.
As far as British fight fans are concerned, his only previous notable bout was a first-round TKO defeat by now IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in September 2019 for the Commonwealth title.
Good evening everyone and welcome to tonight's live round-by-round commentary as longtime heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte makes his much-anticipated return against Ebenezer Tetteh.
That ten-round contest headlines a seven-fight bill live from Gibraltar's Europa Point Sports Complex, televised on DAZN. I'll be providing you with all the colour and context you need before the main event, with ringwalks estimated anytime from 8:30pm onwards.
