Dillian Whyte: record, next fight and profile →
British heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte is clamoring to secure a major fight in the next few months. In recent interview, promoter Eddie Hearn tabbed Whyte as the frontrunner to face IBO, WBA, IBF, WBO world champion Anthony Joshua in April of next year.
Eddie Hearn says Dillian Whyte is Anthony Joshua's most likely opponent at Wembley next April as a fight with Deontay Wilder "looks impossible". Joshua will put his WBA Super, IBF, WBO and IBO belts on the line against Alexander Povetkin on September 22.
British heavyweight Dereck Chisora is still looking to get a measure of revenge against his domestic rival, Dillian Whyte. Last month, both boxers were showcased on the same card at the O2 Arena in London. Chisora had to dig deep and scored a sensational knockout victory over Carlos Takam, while Whyte appeared in the main event and had to get off the floor to win a twelve round decision over former WBO world champion Joseph Parker.
Heavyweight contender Dominic Breazeale (19-1, 17 KOs) is licking his chops at the idea of a showdown with Dillian Whyte (24-1, 17 KOs). Breazeale has been inactive since last December, when he knocked out Eric Molina in what was billed as a WBC eliminator.
Tyson Fury (27-0, 19 KOs) exploded on British heavyweight rival Dillian Whyte, as a war of words erupted on Monday. Whyte took to social media, where he took shots at both Fury and WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs).
Based on what transpired July 28 in London, Dereck Chisora’s trainer thinks he has earned a rematch with Dillian Whyte. Chisora came back to drop Carlos Takam twice in the eighth round of their fight on the Whyte-Joseph Parker undercard that night. Whyte was able to overcome severe trouble during the 12th round to beat Parker by unanimous decision in the main event at O2 Arena.
Mark Tibbs, the son of legendary British trainer Jimmy, believes that Dillian Whyte (24-1, 17 KOs) will become his first world champion given Whyte’s recent run of fine form and elevation in the ratings.
Jarrell Miller has shot down Dillian Whyte's belief that he's done enough to earn a world title shot. Last month, Whyte got his biggest win to date when he won a twelve round unanimous decision over former WBO world champion Joseph Parker. One fight earlier, Parker became the first man to go the full distance with IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
According to David Higgins, promoter for former WBO heavyweight world champion Joseph Parker, there will be no appeal filed over last month's defeat at the hands of Dillian Whyte at the O2 Arena in London.
Former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker is not paying any attention to the critics. Last year, Parker was undefeated with a perfect 24-0 record. In 2018, he's lost two fights in back to back fashion. In March, he lost a twelve round unanimous decision in a high stakes unification against Anthony Joshua. And then last month, Parker lost a twelve round decision to top contender Dillian Whyte.
