Would be a good domestic grudge match and there would be no doubt that Whyte would come to win. Also ticks the box of Joshua versus a decent puncher. That said, I thought that Hearn would let this brew for a while longer and maybe use it as a first defense in a 2016/2017.

Definitely a fight to watch... I don't take anything from the Amatuer because fighters grow more at the pro level in my point of view. I personally think Joshua will have a small chip on his shoulder and will be going out to prove something to any critics. Personally I want to see Joshua vs Fury by this time next year because Tyson will be looking to get some credit back after his brutal beating he will receive by Klitchko

If it's as good as the amateur fight they had (which was Dillian's first amateur boxing match), and if it's a close decision with Joshua winning this time, there could always be a rematch down the line. Sort of like the DeGale-Groves situation.
Quality fight, Whyte seems to irritate Joshua to this day and won't be afraid to bring it but I pick Joshua to stop him.
In all honesty their amateur fight was poor quality wise, both just swinging and they have improved a lot since but Joshua has the momentum and is just the better fighter/athlete imo.
I want to see Joshua fight someone his own size with power like David Price then I would be 100% sold on him as the next big thing.
Yeah I thought this would brew, but super excited to see these two get it on. Shame that we don't know how good Whyte really is, regardless it'll look good for either's record. It would be great to see either Price or Hughie (or even Tyson) Fury take the winner.
good fight. i don't necessarily put any stock in their amateur history, but it'll be nice to see joshua against someone who hasn't lost any of his previous three fights, who believes he can win, and who is a confirmed puncher
His level of competition compare to Anothny Joshua is quite terrible, but that doesn't mean he couldn't beat anthony again if they meet at the pro level.
