Dillian Whyte<\/a> was left bristling and bemused after an announcer messed up his boxing nickname – and accidentally described him as an infant abductor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The heavyweight typically goes by the moniker of ‘body snatcher’ – a reference to his aggressive style of targeting the torso.<\/p>\n

But at the Grand Arrivals in Riyadh, ahead of his Saturday showdown with Moses Itauma, Whyte suffered the embarrassment of being called the ‘baby snatcher’.<\/p>\n

It’s safe to say his new tag didn’t go down well, with Whyte later confronting announcer\u00a0Thomas Schreiber about his mishap, though their encounter was good-natured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Who was the announcer? I think it was Thomas Schreiber. Where is he? It\u2019s fight week. They\u2019re playing games,’ he told Secondsout, scanning the room for the announcer before calling him over.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s a Queensberry show. They\u2019re going to f*** with me. It ain\u2019t nothing new. It\u2019s crazy that he said that. Thomas Scheiber, I respect him as a professional, but clearly, he\u2019s unprofessional. Thomas, come here and speak to me. That’s wild. I\u2019ll rush him – joking! What was with that, man?’<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Dillian Whyte berated announcer Thomas Schreiber after he accidentally called him the ‘baby snatcher’ rather than ‘body snatcher’\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Whyte is preparing to take on Moses Itauma and inflict a first defeat on the youngster<\/p>\n

\"Itauma, <\/p>\n

Itauma, aged 20, has won all 12 of his fights so far and is just over half of Whyte’s age (37)<\/p>\n

Schreiber came over and was instantly in backtracking mode: ‘I apologise. It was a mistake. I wrote it down and the wrong word came out. It was an honest mistake.<\/p>\n

‘For the rest of the week, it\u2019ll be “The Body Snatcher.” Unfortunately, I only get one chance at it, and sometimes…’<\/p>\n

Whyte cheekily quipped: ‘[Maybe] the booty snatcher, but the baby snatcher is wild, bro.’<\/p>\n

After letting his dissatisfaction be known, he was gracious towards Schreiber before conducting the rest of his interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The veteran, 37, is hoping to pull off an upset against his 20-year-old opponent in Riyadh on Saturday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whyte, a two-time former WBC interim heavyweight champion, has a record of 31-3 and has won his last three fights.<\/p>\n

He is bidding to be the first man to stop Itauma, who has had a relentless start to his professional career in the ring with a logbook reading 12-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n
