DILLIAN WHYTE still wants to fight Deontay Wilder even without a belt on the line – and reckons the Bronze Bomber would “s*** himself” if they fought.
Whyte, 31, laughed as Wilder was twice dropped and battered around the ring against Tyson Fury last weekend as he lost the WBC heavyweight title.

The Body Snatcher is mandatory for the title – with his shot at the belt due by February 2021 – and hoped to face the Alabama hitter for the strap following years of back and forths between each other.
But Whyte insisted he is still willing to box Wilder, 34, in a grudge match even the dethroned champ lost his WBC belt.
He told iFL TV: “I’ll fight Deontay Wilder tomorrow, whether he’s got a belt or not. I just wanna fight him to beat him up, I just wanna fight him to give him maximum violence.
“Tyson Fury proved what I’ve been saying all this time. If you back him up, give him maximum violence and rough him up, you’ll do that to him.
“He’s a typical bully fighter. I love fighting bully fighters.”
Wilder, 34, looked like a beaten man from the third round onwards after Fury, 31, dropped the 6ft 7in American with a right hand.
And in the fifth the Gypsy King battered the Bronze Bomber to the deck – landing a left hook to the head before a body shot decked Wilder.
Whyte believes he is a far more punishing puncher to the body, and thinks Wilder could end up in a world of trouble if he landed a shot to his rival’s midsection.
The heavyweight said: “Tyson Fury gave him some pathetic body shots that put him down.
“If I started hitting him to the body he might s*** himself in the ring.
“I saw that happen to a guy once. I went to a Battersea ABC show, a guy got a left hook to the body and s*** himself, I couldn’t believe it.
“He might’ve been taking laxatives to make the weight.”
