Dillian Whyte puts Anthony Joshua rivalry to one side to back heavyweight rival

Dillian Whyte has backed Anthony Joshua to bounce back and secure his revenge against Oleksandr Usyk.

Joshua will attempt to regain his unified heavyweight world titles in a rematch against his Ukrainian rival at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia this Saturday night. 'AJ' was outboxed by Usyk last September, but has made a number of changes in a bid to find his redemption, including the addition of new trainer Robert Garcia.

A win for the British heavyweight could set up a number of huge fights including a shot at long-term rival Tyson Fury for the undisputed titles. And Whyte, who was beaten by Joshua in a domestic clash back in 2015, believes Joshua can knock out Usyk if he channels his aggression. "It's a massive fight, the biggest fight of his career," Whyte told Sky Sports.
