Dillian Whyte Advises Anthony Joshua Against a Hasty Return to the Ring

Dillian Whyte believes that Anthony Joshua is rushing back into the boxing ring too quickly, suggesting that a fight against Deontay Wilder would be a sensible next step for the former heavyweight champion. Joshua's last bout was in December, and he has since been involved in a fatal car accident in Nigeria, resulting in the loss of two close friends. Wilder has expressed interest in facing Joshua, and Whyte thinks this matchup could be the most logical choice for Joshua's next fight. However, Whyte also feels that Joshua should take more time to recover and process his recent experiences before stepping back into the ring. Joshua is expected to face Tyson Fury later this year in a highly anticipated all-British heavyweight showdown, but a preliminary fight against Wilder could potentially disrupt these plans. Whyte, who suffered a first-round knockout defeat to Moses Itauma in August, is still determining his next steps and has dismissed speculation about his potential retirement.
