Whyte: Breazeale is Terrible, Joshua Will Drill Him in 2 To 3 Rounds!

By Edward Chaykovsky

Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte (16-1, 13KOs) expects another easy night when Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16KOs) defends his IBF world title for the first time on June 25th at the O2 Arena in London.

Joshua will go up against undefeated Dominic Breazeale of the United States. Whyte will see action on the Joshua-Breazeale undercard, facing Cyril Leonet (10-8-2, 3KOs).

The upcoming bout will be the first for Whyte since getting stopped by Joshua in seven rounds last December. Whyte underwent surgery aftre the fight.

Whyte is planning to come back again in September, hopefully in a British title fight, and then has a target on the back of Dereck Chisora for the month of December.

"It's amazing to be a British heavyweight right now. After June 25, I'll fight in July then for the British title in September. Dave Allen wants me. I'm here. Chisora will take time to negotiate. He's erratic. We both need a few wins then I'll fight him in December," Whyte told Sky Sports.

Whyte is not expecting any sort of upset in the main event of his June return.

"Dominic is terrible," added Whyte. "I see Joshua winning in two or three rounds maximum. He'll be motivated. There's a title on the line and he's 6'8" so we'll see. I can see AJ's hard right finishing it."

Whyte has a big interest in the main event, as he dreams of getting a second crack at Joshua. He is convinced that his shoulder injury prevented him from knocking Joshua out that night. Whyte had Joshua in the trouble in the second, but couldn't finish him off. Joshua recovered and stopped Whyte in the seventh.

"I can beat him," said Whyte. "I popped my shoulder with one big hit. I've had so much rehab but I'm back. The dream for me is to win the world title. I want a rematch. If there's another route I would take it, but I enjoy fighting Joshua. So much pride, passion and hunger. I was 40 percent fit in that fight. I came into boxing the hard way, but I'm still learning and I've got a lot of top people behind me now."

"The shoulder injury is OK. It takes a while. The scar has healed but it's mental. I need to hit someone hard to see how my body feels. That's why I need two fights before the British title. I need to see how it feels on the 25th."
