Promoter Frank Warren reports that heavyweight Dillian Whyte is off this Saturday\u2019s card on June 7th in Ipswich, England. He says Whyte will return in August in \u201ca big, big fight.<\/strong>\u201d Warren states that Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs) wanted a bigger fight than the one that he would have had if he\u2019d fought on Saturday\u2019s undercard of the Fabio Wardley vs. Justis Huni event on DAZN. Not having Dillian on the card is no loss because he wasn\u2019t expected to fight a live body.<\/p>\n

Prioritizing \u201cBig\u201d Fight<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s unknown who the opponent will be for Whyte, 37, but it\u2019ll likely be someone he has an excellent chance of beating. That would be guys like Derek Chisora, Dave Allen, Jarrell Miller, and Otto Wallin. At this late stage of his career, those would be \u201cbig fights\u201d for Whyte. He is too washed to fight against anyone above these low-level heavyweights.<\/p>\n

Whyte lacks the talent and the youth to defeat top-five level contenders like Martin Bakole, Zhilei Zhang, Filip Hrgovic, Jared Anderson, or Lenier Pero. Those guys would clean him out, ruining his last shot at getting a lucrative rematch with Anthony Joshua. Even the fringe contenders like Richard Torrez Jr. and Andy Ruiz would be trouble for him.<\/p>\n

There are no words to describe how awful Dillian looked in his last fight against 37-year-old Ebenezer Tetteh on December 15th. \u2018The Body Snatcher\u2019 Whyte performed like a walking garbage scow<\/strong>. The way Whyte looked in that fight, I don\u2019t know how Anthony Joshua would ever have any interest in fighting him again. AJ would have to be entirely desperate for a win to fight Dillian after that showing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not going to be on the card now. He\u2019s had an opportunity for a big, big fight in August, and we\u2019re looking at the moment to get that over the line. It\u2019s a big, big fight for him,\u201d said promoter Frank Warren to BoxNation<\/a>, revealing that Dillian Whyte is off this Saturday\u2019s card on June 7th in Ipswich, England.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, that\u2019s going to take priority. He wants that. He wants the bigger fight than what he would be getting if he\u2019d be fighting in Ipswich. So, whats going to happen. It\u2019s a really, really big fight, yeah,\u201d said Warren when asked if Whyte\u2019s clash in August will be a \u2018World level\u2019 clash.<\/p>\n
