From Wally Downes in Saudi Arabia…
DILLIAN WHYTE survived a doping charge, a thunderstorm and a 6ft 8in Viking, all in the space of 24hrs, to get his career back on track.
The Brixton Body Snatcher had been fighting a UK anti-doping charge since July, that was finally thrown out late on Friday evening.
Earlier that day the 31-year-old proved he had been comfort eating during the depressing time by weighing in at a career-high 19st 5lbs, with his belly hanging over his shorts.
But he weathered the Diriyah downpour to survive his gut-check comeback and slug out a unanimous points win over 39-year-old Mariusz ‘The Viking’ Wach in rain-soaked Saudi Arabia.
Whyte said: “I boxed nowhere near my standard, I came in about a stone over weight.
“I have been through hell, I went from being a hero to being a nobody but I am as tough as old boots.”

From Wally Downes in Saudi Arabia…
ROCK HARD Brit Tom Little was stopped on his feet after bravely taking on Anthony Joshua conqueror Magomedrasul Majidov.
The Azerbaijan pinpoint puncher beat AJ to gold at the 2011 World Championships and is now 2-0 as a pro.
Little was the gamest man in Saudi Arabia taking on the ruthless marksman and somehow got off the floor after being decked in the second.
But Steve Gray rightly stopped the fight when Majidov was unloading on the Hatfield man at will.
Majidov’s first serious punch was a clubbing right hook that left the brave Brit with a crimson red face for the rest of the opening round.
The celebrated amateur stalked the journeyman and peppered his less-than-toned torso with mean whacks, especially when he was backed-up onto the ropes.
But Little was not only in Riyadh for a payday and he kept trying to land a hopeful lead left-hook that sadly never connected.
Too early in the second, Little was pinged again with a laser-like right that forced him to face-plant into the ropes.
Amazingly he beat the count and tried to power on but he was stopped once again, leaving him with a 10-8 record that does not adequately explain his courage.
And Joshua's sparring partner Tom Little has already lost on the undercard!
Magomedrasul Majidov has beaten him inside two rounds. A huge right put him down before referee Steve Gray steps in.
Fight over already as we continue in Riyadh!
