WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is warning everyone to avoid underestimating Dillian Whyte (16-0, 13KOs), who faces heavily favored amateur rival Anthony Joshua (14-0, 14KOs) next Saturday night in London.
Joshua is ranked at number 2 by the WBC and by the end of next year he could very well become the mandatory challenger to Wilder.
Whyte defeated the Olympic gold medal winner in the amateur ranks and vowed to repeat that feat in the pros. Joshua is a big favorite among the experts and viewed as a rising star in the heavyweight division.
The fight will have the Commonwealth, British and WBC International heavyweight titles on the line.
“But don’t count Dillian Whyte out in this fight. Don’t be surprised if he beat [Joshua]. I think Dillian Whyte is gonna bring it. I think he's gonna get the upset. So if he beat Joshua don’t be surprised," Wilder told BoxingScene.com.
