By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte will be returning to the ring on July 13 in London, UK to face a still to be determined opponent, according to his promoter Eddie Hearn. The whole reason the WBC ordered the Whyte vs. Breazeale fight was because Wilder was busy with the Fury rematch. So, the winner of that [Breazeale vs. Whyte] is the mandatory to fight Wilder,” Hearn said in discussing the WBC mandatory situation. Wilder says he wants to fight Joshua after his May 18 fight, so it’s not necessary for Hearn to push Whyte onto him. The only reason it would make sense for Hearn to be insisting that Wilder fight Whyte is if he’s worried about Deontay beating Joshua.
