Dillian Whyte: record, next fight and profile →
Dillian Whyte is coming to America. Multiple sources have informed BoxingScene.com that progressing negotiations soon will result in the hard-hitting British heavyweight signing a lucrative, multi-fight contract with promoter Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc. Whyte will make his Top Rank debut on an undetermined date. That fight likely will be streamed by ESPN+ from an unchosen venue in the United States.
Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte is hoping to become the next mandatory challenger to WBC world champion Deontay Wilder. Whyte is not looking for his own crack at gold after Wilder's planned rematch with Tyson Fury fell apart. The World Boxing Council had ordered Whyte to face Dominic Breazeale in a final eliminator for the WBC interim-title.
Dominic Breazeale would be more than ready to enter a direct crack at WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder- but also says Dillian Whyte remains an option. Breazeale and Whyte were this month ordered by the World Boxing Council to collide for the interim-WBC heavyweight title - in what would also be a final eliminator.
Heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller is not overly impressed with the toughest opponent of his career, which is IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO world champion Anthony Joshua. Miller will challenge Joshua for his world title on June 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The contest will be Joshua's United States debut.
Former world champion Tyson Fury has once again verbally lashed out in the direction of his domestic rival - IBF, WBO, WBA, IBO world champion Anthony Joshua. Joshua is back in the ring on June 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He faces undefeated contender Jarrell Miller of Brooklyn.
From the moment Tyson Fury and promoter Frank Warren announced their alignment with Top Rank and ESPN, each passing day has suggested the troubling news of a rematch with Deontay Wilder looking less and less likely to occur in the near future. There is a silver lining to the potential fallout; at least if you’re Dominic Breazeale.
Heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller admits that reaching a financial agreement with Anthony Joshua was not easy - but it got done. Joshua, who holds the WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO world titles, will defend his belts against Miller on June 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte admits that he would not be shocked if Jarrell Miller pulled off a big upset by stunning IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Whyte was in talks to face Joshua in a rematch, for April 13 at Wembley Stadium in London, but their talks fell apart over money. Now Joshua is scheduled to make his American debut, on June 1, against Miller at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Frank Warren has sent some verbal jabs in the direction of his promotional rival, Eddie Hearn. Warren explained that Hearn is solely to blame for several of the fallouts involving IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Joshua was initially scheduled to fight on April 13th at Wembley Stadium in London.
As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, heavyweight contenders Dominic Breazeale and Dillian Whyte have been ordered to fight by the World Boxing Council to determine the mandatory challenger to heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, the WBC said on Tuesday. Wilder retained his title after a controversial split decision draw with Britain’s Tyson Fury last December at Staples Center in Carson, California and the WBC quickly sanctioned a direct rematch, further delaying a defence against mandatory challenger Breazeale.
