Dillian Whyte to return to the ring to face Jermaine Franklin at Wembley

Dillian Whyte Jermaine Franklin Anthony Joshua Tyson Fury Wembley Arena

Dillian Whyte returns to the ring against Jermaine Franklin this weekend. The heavyweight bout at Wembley Arena is Whyte's first fight since April.

'The Bodysnatcher' is aiming to get back to title contention after Tyson Fury defeat. Whyte was dominated by WBC champion Fury before being stopped in the sixth round.

American Franklin is undefeated with 21 pro victories and 14 knockouts to his name. Eddie Hearn insists the winner will get a bout against Anthony Joshua in the New Year.

Whyte and Joshua are long-time rivals, having fought as amateurs and in the pro ranks in 2015. Joshua came out on top in that explosive encounter and Whyte will be eager for revenge.
