One fighter wants to have a busy 2024.

Dillian Whyte is hoping to remain busy in the second half of 2024 as he plots his return to the business end of the heavyweight division.  

Whyte returned to action earlier this year when he defeated Christian Hammer in Ireland. 

The former world title challenger is still hoping to secure big fights, but he can only do that if he keeps on winning.  

Whyte was set to face Anthony Joshua last year, but that contest was called off close to the last minute due to an issue with Whyte’s pre-fight drug test. 

The Brixton man has mentioned September as a possible return date. 

“I’m training and staying busy, just waiting on some news now, regarding [next] fight,” said Whyte when speaking to IFLTV

“I’m trying to fight another two, three times this year, so yeah, I’m excited man. I’m hoping to fight in September.”
