Dillian Whyte backed to be "handful" for Deontay Wilder and Oleksandr Usyk

Dillian Whyte has been told he would be a "handful" in a potential heavyweight showdown with Deontay Wilder or Oleksandr Usyk.

'The Body Snatcher' returns to action for the first time since losing to Tyson Fury in April when he takes on Jermaine Franklin at the OVO Wembley Arena on Saturday night. Whyte will be looking to put his name back in the title mix after coming up short in his long-awaited world title challenge against Fury.

It is expected a win for Whyte will see him take on British rival Anthony Joshua in a rematch next year. But former world champion David Haye believes the Briton would hold his own against the 'Bronze Bomber' if he is able to force a clash to move up the WBC rankings.
