Whyte Advises Joshua to Avoid Rushing Back to the Ring, Suggests Wilder as a Suitable Opponent

Dillian Whyte believes that Deontay Wilder would be a logical next opponent for Anthony Joshua, but thinks Joshua is making a mistake by returning to boxing too quickly. Joshua's last fight was in December, and he has since been involved in a fatal car accident in Nigeria. Wilder has expressed interest in fighting Joshua, and Whyte thinks this matchup makes sense. However, Whyte also believes that Joshua should take more time to recover and process his recent experiences before stepping back into the ring. Whyte, who was defeated by Joshua in 2015, thinks that a fight against Wilder could jeopardize Joshua's planned bout against Tyson Fury later this year. Whyte is still considering his own next steps after suffering a knockout defeat to Moses Itauma in August.
