Dillian Whyte believes Anthony Joshua is rushing back into the ring too quickly and suggests that a fight against Deontay Wilder would be a sensible next step. Joshua's last bout was in December, followed by a car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two close friends.
Wilder has expressed interest in facing Joshua, and Whyte thinks this matchup makes sense, predicting that Joshua would likely emerge victorious. However, Whyte also advises Joshua to take more time to recover, citing the emotional toll of his recent experiences. Joshua is expected to face Tyson Fury later this year, but a meeting with Wilder first could jeopardize those plans.
Whyte, who was defeated by Moses Itauma in August, is uncertain about his own next steps but is adamant that he is not considering retirement, confident in his ability to still compete at the top level.
