Joshua: "In the near future now I do not see our fight with Whyte"

Former Unified World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua doubts that in the near future he will fight with Dillian Whyte, after he passed a positive doping test on the eve of their fight.

“We had two options: cancel the fight or flip a coin and choose another opponent. This is exactly what our team did. It is a pity that White passed a positive doping test. To be honest, I can't tell you what the problem is, but it didn't affect my card. I'm just glad that I can still fight. This situation was a disappointment for the undercard fighters who wanted to cash in.

I don't know what can be done in White's situation. I can't predict the future. I don't know what will happen. In the near future, now I do not see our fight, ”Joshua was quoted by Boxing News 24.

Recall that instead of Whyte, Joshua will now fight Robert Helenius on August 12.
