Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who co-promotes WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, expects his boxer to return in the first quarter of 2022 - on a date in March or April.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has backed Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk and Dillian Whyte to defeat Deontay Wilder - but he also gives Wilder a puncher's chance against all three of them.

LAS VEGAS – If Frank Warren were Dillian Whyte’s promoter, Warren would’ve advised against accepting a fight against Otto Wallin next. London’s Whyte will battle Wallin on October 30 at O2 Arena in London. Their 12-round fight for Whyte’s WBC interim heavyweight championship could determine Tyson Fury’s next opponent.

Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte believes Deontay Wilder took way too much punishment on Saturday night, in the trilogy fight with Tyson Fury at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS – Tyson Fury figures he won’t have to fight Dillian Whyte after he defeats Deontay Wilder again Saturday night. Whyte is the WBC interim heavyweight champion and apparently the mandatory challenger for Fury’s title. Fury thinks Whyte and his handlers have made a matchmaking mistake, though, for the London-based contender’s upcoming fight.

Dillian Whyte wouldn’t pick a winner when he was asked recently on “The DAZN Boxing Show” who will emerge victorious from the upcoming Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight.

The winner of this weekend’s heavyweight trilogy clash will leave the ring with marching orders already in place. The WBC is prepared to order a mandatory title defense for whomever prevails in the third fight between England’s Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21KOs) and Alabama’s Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41KOs). The pair of heavyweight behemoths collide this Saturday on Pay-Per-View from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with Fury attempting the first defense of the WBC and lineal championship.

If there is any justice in boxing, Dillian Whyte is finally closing in on his shot at the WBC heavyweight title. After Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder meet for the third time in Las Vegas on Saturday, Whyte should be next. But Whyte is not quite believing it yet.

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who promotes WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is not ruling out the possibility of a mandatory fight with Dillian Whyte in early 2022.

Dillian Whyte’s willingness to fight Otto Wallin wasn’t surprising to Wallin’s promoter. Whyte has long demonstrated that he’ll fight heavyweights others might view as high-risk, low-reward propositions. Dmitriy Salita still thinks Whyte made a mistake by choosing the Swedish southpaw as his opponent for a 12-round main event October 30 at O2 Arena in London.
