DILLIAN WHYTE’S trainer Buddy McGirt sensationally admitted he has never watched his fighter’s upcoming opponent Moses Itauma box before.
McGirt, 61, made that stunning revelation just two weeks before Whyte, 37, faces Itauma, 20, on August 16 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
And that could come back to haunt the Body Snatcher and his trainer as his upcoming foe has won all of his 12 fights heading to their clash in the Middle East.
McGirt said: “I’m gonna be 1000% honest with you, I’ve never seen Moses fight, so I really don’t know what he’s ready for.
“He’s got to bring it all. I said to Dill ‘Listen, let’s be realistic here, what can this kid do that you haven’t already seen?
“But can that kid ask the same question? Can Dillian do something that this kid has never seen before?”
McGirt has worked with with several other world champions, such as Sergey Kovalev, Arturo Gatti and Hasim Rahman
And the American rarely watches tape in the lead-up to any of his boxers’ fights.
Ever since the New Yorker and Whyte linked up in 2022 following the Brit’s loss to Tyson Fury, the heavyweight counts three victories.
McGirt added: “We’re training hard like it is a championship fight, but we aren’t training like we are fighting Clubber Lang or anybody.

“Moses is a good young prospect, but we’re working every day like we’re fighting for the title, whether it is against this kid or anybody else.”
But Itauma is not to be underestimated by Whyte and the rest of his camp.
The southpaw demolished his first 12 opponents in a way that has brought back memories of a teenage Mike Tyson.
