Dillian Whyte made a winning return to the ring with a three-round victory over Christian Hammer in Ireland.

Hammer failed to get up from his stool for the fourth round, forcing the referee to stop the bout and hand Whyte his 30th professional victory.
The 35-year-old Briton had not fought since his victory over Jermaine Franklin at Wembley in November 2022.
