Eddie Hearn confirmed that Dillian Whyte (26-1, 18 KOs) is likely to return to the ring on December 7 at the boxing evening in Saudi Arabia. Matchroom promoter reported that the British got a list of potential rivals. Hearn noted that there is no top heavyweights.
The British promoter already announced that Whyte will return to the ring at the end of the year. Prior to that, the fighter was burdened by unsubstantiated accusations of doping, but the British anti-doping control since July has not officially commented on the matter.
Whyte in his last professional performance defeated Oscar Rivas on points. The Briton as the result of the fight was awarded with interim WBC championship belt, but later he was stripped of the title, until the accusations of doping will not be removed.
In the main event of the December evening Anthony Joshua will have a rematch with Andy Ruiz. In Saudi Arabia the audience will also see a duel between Alexander Povetkin and Michael Hunter.
