One interesting boxer who has had to endure a lot of adversities over the past year is the British heavyweight Dillian Whyte. He then beat Jermaine Franklin through a majority decision this November and was set to fight Anthony Joshua in the rematch, but the fight was called off due to the latter’s failed pre-fight drug test. But they released a statement this year stating that Dillian Whyte was acquitted in an investigation, and they explained that a tainted supplement caused the positive testa tainted supplement caused the positive test. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation cleared him to work in March 2023.
The Comeback of Dillian Whyte and His Future Programs
After clearing the suspension, Dillian Whyte returned to the ring to face Christian Hammer. The fight ended in Whyte’s victory through third-round stoppage after Hammer refused to continue fighting, saying he had to get back on his stool. However, much as he scored a win over the eye. He has not been seen in the boxing ring for several months now. Recently, he vowed to make up for the time lost this year by fighting twice again. Dillian Whyte, noting the recent fight between Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua, says he has the tools to beat both.
“I watched Dubois-AJ, and I think to myself, ‘I can beat these guys’. I’m very capable of beating them. I didn’t see anything special that I was like ‘Okay the feet was great or the movement was great’.
Dillian Whyte is confident in his ability to beat both fighters, but he specified he didn’t see anything special in their performance. He is a serious and tough fighter; however, one should not neglect another fighter’s ability. Although Anthony Joshua was also confident before fighting Dubois, Dubois badly knocked him out in the fifth round.

While Dillian Whyte is determined to return to the ring, he acknowledges that his first fight won’t be against a level opponent.
It’s going to be a B-level or C-level opponent. And then hopefully in December if Derek Chisora says he wants to fight and people want to see a trilogy then I’ll get a quick run out and bash Derek Chisora up gain.
In December, Dillian was looking forward to a potential trilogy fight with Derek Chisora. He thinks both have unsettled scores since they fought in 2016 and again in 2018, both of which he won.
Conclusion: Looking Ahead Dillian
Dillian Whyte’s desire to fight back into the heavyweight’s top tier is palpable as he outlines his route. Of the two fights in mind for Whyte before year’s end, he may be in the ring for a third time with Derek Chisora as he aims at making a comeback after a rather rough year. The stubbornness he demonstrated throughout his career to face only the best opponents reveals that he wants to make one more impact in the heavyweight division before ending his career.
