Dillian Whyte (30-3, 20 KOs) has often criticized Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) in the past, but has now decided to defend his former rival.
"Joshua still has a lot of fuel in the tank and he remains an athlete of great interest. And he's still a very dangerous puncher. He's not the youngest anymore, he hasn't looked too good lately, but he definitely still has a lot to show. People pay too much attention to the losses of heavyweight fighters, and that wrong mindset prevents good fights from happening. Fans should be waiting for two boxers to fight, not looking at whether they've been winning or losing lately. Despite the loss to Dubois, AJ still has a lot to offer. Some people were too quick to write him off," said White, who will face Ebenezer Tetteh (23-1, 20 KOs) on Dec. 15.
Earlier, Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, announced the return of the former two-time world heavyweight champion at the turn of May and June.
