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

Dillian Whyte believes that Deontay Wilder would be a suitable opponent for Anthony Joshua's next bout, 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. Joshua is expected to face Tyson Fury later this year, but a fight against Wilder could potentially disrupt these plans. Whyte, who was defeated by Joshua in 2015, thinks that Joshua needs more time to reflect on his recent losses and come to terms with his emotions. Whyte is still undecided about his own next steps after suffering a first-round knockout defeat to Moses Itauma in August last year.
