Anthony Joshua doubts Dillian Whyte will earn world-title fight

Heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua

Heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua has raised doubts about whether Dillian Whyte will earn a world heavyweight title fight against himself or Tyson Fury.

Whyte will battle Alexander Povetkin this morning and victory keeps him on course for a mandatory fight for Fury's WBC belt in early 2021.

Promoter Eddie Hearn says Whyte could even face Joshua in an undisputed world title fight, if Fury fails to fulfil his WBC duties, but the unified champion has told the Matchroom boss that he expects a stunning upset when he watches Whyte-Povetkin.

Hearn says Joshua believes that Alexander Povetkin will win.

Joshua overcame an early scare to stop Povetkin in the seventh round of their world title fight at Wembley in 2018.

But the WBA, IBF and WBO champion has suggested that Whyte can only triumph on points, if he has prepared correctly for Povetkin.

The bout between Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin will start in the next hour.
