Returning heavyweight contender says he will fight anyoneEd Mullholland/Matchroom
One fighter is ready to step up.

Dillian Whyte made a successful return to the ring earlier this month with a third-round stoppage over Christian Hammer in Ireland.  

The performance ended almost 18 months of inactivity for Whyte with his last fight coming in November 2022 when he outpointed Jermaine Franklin. 

Last summer, Whyte was scheduled to face Anthony Joshua in a huge rematch from their 2015 meeting, but the fight was postponed following an adverse finding in Whyte’s drug test.  

Whyte is back and his return has prompted fighters like Joe Joyce to express an interest in fighting him, and Whyte is ready to take on all comers moving forward. 

“I will fight anyone. If it makes sense, I don’t care. I’m not going to wait for no one. I’ve never turned a fight down,” said Whyte when speaking to Boxing Social.

“Whoever wants it can get it. The matter is still the same. I need to go see my kids, my dogs, I need to take care of some things at home. If I can get three weeks or a month at home, I’ll be good.”
