Dillian Whyte believes that Deontay Wilder is a fitting next opponent for Anthony Joshua, but thinks Joshua is rushing back into boxing too quickly. Joshua's last bout 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, predicting that Joshua would likely win by knockout. However, Whyte also believes that Joshua should take more time to recover and process his recent experiences before returning to the ring.
Whyte, who was defeated by Joshua in 2015, thinks that Joshua's planned fight against Tyson Fury later this year should take priority, and that a meeting with Wilder could jeopardize those plans. Whyte is currently considering his own next steps after a first-round knockout loss to Moses Itauma in August.
