Dillian Whyte confirms split with trainer Mark Tibbs ahead of Povetkin fight

Only a few weeks before the fight too, these two always seemed solid to me.

Woah!

Peter Fury?
Adam Booth?

More to this than meets the eye I reckon. I get the warm weather lark, it's the beaten path for lots of fighters, but does he like training in Portugal so much that he's prepared to bin off a 4 year working relationship?

If he smashes Povetkin it'll all be roses in the garden. If he struggles or loses, this is rearing it's head again with a new spin. Another poor decision by Dillian.

Definitely weird timing and he has to bring someone in asap.

Ben Davison?
Booth?
Salvador Vicente?

He will lose.
:rolleyes:

When has any fighter/trainer split in history been cool and the gang? It's always about dosh.

Tibbs was told he got the boot by Whyte's laywer a day before the split was announced. Said Dillian didn't even phone him. They wanted him for just the last three weeks of camp (taking the piss). Said he knew something was up earlier in the year when he was getting sent spread sheets and shit.
