MOSES ITAUMA saw a ‘wounded animal’ in the eyes of super-skinny Dillian Whyte.
On Thursday the 20-year-old Kent heavyweight asked his veteran rival to take off his sunglasses so he could see if he had the eyes of a wolf or a sheep.
On the Saudi Arabia stage, 37-year-old Whyte told him to “stop acting the tough guy” and later vowed to “f*** up his whole team” If anything kicked off.

At 245lb he growled: “I saw a wounded animal.
“I’m not looking for the knockout but if it happens, it happens.”
After a brutal 16-week camp, sparring monsters twice his age, the ice-cool wonderkid said: “I just want to get to the easy bit… The fight.”
Whyte rocked up to Riyadh 17lb lighter than his last bout and 1lb lighter than the rival almost half his age.

“Things have gone good,” he said about his dramatic weight loss. “That’s it.
