Eddie Hearn said that next spring he would try to organize a fight of Dillian Whyte (27-1, 18 KOs) against former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. (33-2, 22 KOs). The duel could take place in April on the British Isles.
For Ruiz, it will be a return to the ring after a recent defeat at the hands of Anthony Joshua. The Mexican, who sensationally stopped the Brit in June, lost for the first time in three years.
In early December Whyte returned to the ring after he was cleared with charges of the alleged illegal use of doping substances. 31-year-old Briton defeated Mariusz Wach, but did not show his best form.
