Next five potential opponents for Dillian Whyte with Anthony Joshua front of queue after…
But Eddie Hearn warned the heavyweight and AJ could instead have different fights in early 2023 before a summer stadium rematch.
So it leaves the door open for who Whyte will fight next, with several options on the table.
Next five potential opponents for Dillian Whyte with Anthony Joshua front of queue after…
Here, SunSport looks at the contenders in play.
Anthony Joshua
Joshua, 33, remains a frontrunner to face Whyte, 34, next year as the pair embraced at ringside.
Hearn has opened the door to the pair rematching right away, with AJ keen to return straight into a big fight.
Joshua lost to Whyte in the amateurs in 2009 but won their rematch six years later by brutal stoppage.
Whyte still has unfinished business with Wallin, 32, having pulled out of their proposed October 2021 through injury.
He instead went on to challenge Fury, 34, for the WBC belt, while leaving Swede Wallin in the lurch.
Should the AJ rematch fail to come off next, Whyte and Wallin have the shared history to build interest in a fill-in fight.
Before signing to fight Franklin, 29, Whyte almost agreed a deal to face Dubois, 24, on BT pay-per-view.
Eventually, his financial demands were not met, leaving the bout shelved for now.
But it remains a massive fight should Whyte need to look elsewhere and Dubois has the WBA’s secondary “regular” title to bring to the table.
DILLIAN WHYTE punched his way into a rematch with Anthony Joshua after narrowly edging past Jermaine Franklin.
Whyte left Wembley Arena with a disputed majority decision win, returning for the first time since defeat to Tyson Fury.
