Whyte being lined up as Joshua's next opponent after Povetkin fight

Dillian Whyte is being lined up as Anthony Joshua’s next opponent in April after the promoter Eddie Hearn said that a long‑anticipated super fight with Deontay Wilder might not happen until November 2019 at the earliest.

Joshua, who puts his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight belts on the line against Alexander Povetkin at Wembley on Sunday, wants Wilder, the WBC champion, next.

But Hearn says talks with the American’s camp have broken down and it could take at least a year for the fight to take place.

Joshua will fight Povetkin this Sunday and the fight program wil start around 4am.
