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, and he has since been involved in a fatal car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two close friends. Following his victory over Derek Chisora, Wilder expressed interest in facing Joshua, while Whyte downplayed the possibility of a rematch against his old rival.
Whyte thinks Joshua will likely face Wilder next, a bout that 'makes sense' and could result in a knockout win for Joshua. However, Whyte also believes Joshua should take more time to recover and process his recent experiences before returning to the ring. Joshua is expected to face Tyson Fury later this year in a highly anticipated all-British heavyweight showdown.
Whyte, who suffered a first-round knockout defeat to Moses Itauma in August, admits his performance was not representative of his true abilities and is not considering retirement, despite having fought only three times since 2022.
