Whyte advises Joshua to delay comeback, suggests Wilder as suitable opponent

Dillian Whyte has cautioned Anthony Joshua against rushing back into the ring, recommending that he take more time to recover following a recent car accident in Nigeria that resulted in the loss of two close friends. Whyte believes a matchup between Joshua and Deontay Wilder would be a logical choice for Joshua's next bout. Joshua, who last fought in December, is rumored to be planning a highly anticipated all-British heavyweight showdown with Tyson Fury later this year. However, Whyte thinks Joshua should prioritize his mental and emotional well-being before returning to the ring. 'If AJ fights Wilder, he will sell and he will knock Wilder out, I think,' Whyte stated. Whyte, who suffered a first-round knockout defeat to Moses Itauma in August, also reflected on his own performance, saying it was not representative of his true abilities. Despite his recent loss, Whyte has dismissed suggestions of retirement, expressing confidence in his ability to continue competing at the top level.
