Whyte advises Joshua to fight on despite retirement rumours

Dillian Whyte has urged Anthony Joshua to continue fighting until he finds his form again.

Whyte’s comments come in light of reports suggesting that Joshua is considering retirement following his loss to Daniel Dubois.

Dubois, the IBF heavyweight world champion, delivered a stunning knockout to Joshua in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium in September.

However, in an interview with Sky Sports News, Whyte emphasized that Joshua still has the potential to bounce back, and he believes it would be fantastic to see him face off against Tyson Fury.

“He’s still got a lot left in the tank and he’s still a big draw. And as you can see in the fight, he’s still a big puncher. He had Dubois going before Dubois landed the finishing blow,” Whyte told Sky Sports News.

“It’s hard to say, he’s young, he’s strong, he looks in amazing shape. He’s still got a lot of fight left in him.”

“People put too much emphasis on a defeat in heavyweight boxing,” Whyte said. “That’s why a lot of fights don’t happen.

“They don’t get made because people put a lot of emphasis on win, lose and draw instead of enjoying the fact that two top guys are fighting each other now, which wasn’t happening a few years ago.”
