Hailing from the United Kingdom, Dillian Whyte holds an impressive record of 31 wins and 3 losses, with 21 of those victories coming by knockout, giving him a 67.74% KO ratio. And it was only his aggressive boxing style that earned him the nickname “The Body Snatcher.” Eddie Hearn, a veteran promoter who has witnessed countless battles inside the ring, shared his thoughts ahead of Whyte’s upcoming showdown with heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “I do think Moses will win the fight, but I think it would be wrong to rule [Whyte] out. He’s a very tough man, he’s a good fighter, and he’s got plenty of dog in him,” Hearn admitted.
This main event headlines Esports World Cup Fight Week at ANB Arena, with DAZN carrying the card globally. The bout arrives with real stakes for the heavyweight ladder: Itauma defends his WBO Inter-Continental belt, and a statement win could accelerate mandatory positioning in a division reshaped by Oleksandr Usyk’s recent injury and pending WBO timelines.
However, beyond the stats and skills, do you wonder what kind of family Dillian Whyte belongs to? If so, stick around as we break down his early background, his family life, his role as a father, and his deep affection for his wife, whom he loves and cherishes most.
When did Dillian Whyte become a father?
Dillian Whyte, who once competed as both a kickboxer and mixed martial artist before rising to become the WBC interim heavyweight champion, faced immense adversity while growing up. Caught up in crime and violence at a young age, he also became a father at just 13. On top of it, his early life was marked by extreme poverty, with one incident seeing him nearly starve to death before reuniting with his mother in London after moving from Jamaica.

In a 2018 interview with Anna Woolhouse of Sky Sports Boxing, Dillian Whyte opened up about fatherhood during his teenage years. “Yeah it was difficult but where I’ve been through so much in life it was just like another thing I had to do. It happened so long ago, and from so young, I don’t know anything else and it’s just a part of me, having kids from a young age and just finding a way for them and mapping a future out for them,” he reflected.
Turning to combat sports helped the 37-year-old change the course of his life, and over time, he secured victories against the likes of Alexander Povetkin, Derek Chisora, Joseph Parker, and Robert Helenius. However, one of the most defining moments of the 37-year-old’s career came in 2022, when he challenged Tyson Fury for the WBC heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium in London, only to suffer a sixth-round knockout defeat. Since then, he has rebounded with a three-fight winning streak and is determined to keep that momentum going. But putting the in-ring battles aside, do you know who is the mother of his children?
Who is the mother of Dillian Whyte’s children?
Despite being a champion boxer, Dillian Whyte has kept much of his private life away from the spotlight. He is married and a father of three children (one daughter and two sons) but rarely speaks about them in the media. However, a look at Instagram reveals that the 31-1 fighter is married to bodybuilder Carolina Pasquali, who herself comes from a sporting background. Her brother, Tiziano Pasquali, plays rugby for the Italian national team, and Carolina has showcased her own diverse talents, even holding a white belt in jiu-jitsu.
Just last month, Carolina Pasquali shared a clip on Instagram of herself practicing jiu-jitsu, writing: “I just want to go agaaaain and do it right. The nerves were real , so was the switch let me tell you, the fire is there. Thank u #jiujitsu for giving me some life again I promise to just get better.” Fitness remains central to her lifestyle, and her Instagram reflects that with workout pictures, as well as another creative side: painting. But that’s not all.
Carolina, through her Instagram account of 6,195 followers, also showcases her artwork and even promotes her portraits for private commissions. On August 10, 2020, she posted a picture of herself holding a custom tiger painting, captioned: “Never lose sight of your goals… We all fall in life, the question is who gets back up. Second tiger, ready to be delivered to the USA, actually enjoyed reproducing this piece.”
She has also been a visible supporter at ringside for Whyte’s recent bouts, though, as with most families in elite boxing, travel and privacy considerations vary event to event. In case you didn’t know, she was ringside in Gibraltar when Whyte defeated Ebenezer Tetteh via seventh-round RTD on December 15, and she is expected to be in Riyadh now as her husband faces unbeaten rising star Moses Itauma. With all eyes on this highly anticipated clash, the question is, do you think Dillian Whyte will be able to defeat the 20-year-old?
