Joshua & Whyte Post-Fight Interviews - "Many Champions Lose And Come Back!" [VIDEO]

[FlatLine]

Back room interviews with Whyte and Joshua after their explosive contest.

Whyte confirms in this interview that many champions lose and come back, he reels off a list of Ali, Lennox, Vitali, Wladimir (clearly cut short by the interviewer before he's about to mention Khan who is probably the most impressive example of this by far).

Dillian Whyte says "This ain't the end of me, many champions lose and come back..."





Anthony Joshua says that Whyte has improved but he wasn't good enough for the task at hand.

Neither Joshua nor Whyte have ever defeated a top 20 world rated heavyweight yet. You can't be a champion and come back from defeat if you have never been a champion to begin with.

Haha, true that. Whyte is nobody, really.

You need to read between the lines sometimes. What Whyte is saying is that he is still championship material because lots of fighters have lost (either before or after they became champion) and came back to be successful in the sport and win, or recapture, a belt. Or to translate as simply as possible: "Even though I lost, I'll still come back and be a world champion one day".

It should be interesting to see how they both come along over the next couple of years...I think they have potential to become top contenders. Joshua because of his size and brawn...Whyte because I think he is a tough natural fighter. They both have years till they reach their prime...today they caught everybody's imagination.

And I'll add something else that this was not a boring heavyweight fight for a change.
