Whyte Advises Joshua to Delay Comeback, Suggests Wilder as Suitable Opponent

Dillian Whyte believes that Anthony Joshua is rushing back into the ring too quickly and suggests that a bout against Deontay Wilder would be a sensible next step for the former heavyweight champion. Joshua's last fight 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 would be a logical choice, predicting that Joshua would emerge victorious. However, Whyte also advises Joshua to take more time to recover and process his recent experiences before returning to the ring, citing the emotional toll of his recent loss. Whyte himself is still contemplating his next move after a first-round knockout defeat to Moses Itauma in August, but is adamant that he is not considering retirement and can still compete at the top level with careful planning and reflection on past mistakes.
