Whyte returns on October 23 or 30 against Martin?

Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) returns to the ring on October 23 or 30 in the UK. Former world heavyweight champion Charles Martin (28-2-1, 25 KOs) is the most serious candidate for a fight with the Briton, but Chris Arreola (38-7-1, 33 KOs) also remains one of the possible opponents.

Eddie Hearn said that negotiations for Whyte's next fight are ongoing. At the same time, the head of Matchroom Boxing is working to ensure that his boxer, after a possible victory in October, will receive the status of a mandatory contender for the WBC heavyweight title, which belongs to Tyson Fury.

Whyte has been the interim World Boxing Council champion since March. In his last performance, "The Body Snatcher" knocked out Alexander Povetkin, who ended his career after this performance.
