Dillian Whyte cautions Anthony Joshua against rushing back to the ring, suggests Deontay Wilder as a suitable opponent
Dillian Whyte believes that Deontay Wilder would be a logical next opponent for Anthony Joshua, but thinks Joshua is returning to boxing prematurely. Joshua's last fight was in December, and he was recently involved in a fatal car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two close friends. Wilder has expressed interest in fighting Joshua, and Whyte thinks this bout would be a sensible choice, stating that Joshua would likely emerge victorious. However, Whyte also believes that Joshua should take more time to recover and process his recent experiences before stepping back into the ring. Whyte's own future in boxing is uncertain, having suffered a first-round knockout defeat to Moses Itauma in August last year, but he insists he is not considering retirement and is capable of still competing at the top level.
