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

Dillian Whyte believes that Deontay Wilder would be a fitting 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 car accident that claimed the lives of two close friends. Wilder has expressed interest in fighting Joshua, and Whyte thinks this matchup makes the most sense, predicting 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. A potential fight against Wilder could jeopardize Joshua's planned bout against Tyson Fury later this year. Whyte, who is still determining his next steps after a first-round knockout loss to Moses Itauma, acknowledges that his own performance was not representative of his true abilities and is looking to learn from his mistakes and continue competing at the top level.
