Josh Warrington Explains Why He Favors Dillian Whyte To Beat Anthony Joshua In The Rematch

Josh Warrington believes Dillian Whyte will stun Anthony Joshua in their rematch in August.

Whyte and Joshua are set to box on August 12 in an intriguing match. If Joshua wins, it would set up a massive scrap against Deontay Wilder in December. With that, some believe it is a bit of a tuneup fight, but Warring thinks it is a tougher fight than people think and believes Whyte actually wins.

“It’s gonna be a tough fight, I do believe this AJ vs Whyte fight is gonna be a lot closer than the first one. I don’t think AJ’s on the slide, but I feel like he’ll wanna prove something. Not only to himself, but to everyone else,” Warrington told Talk Sport. “To show that he has still got it, to show that he is still that aggressive animal that he can be. But that’s gonna play well into Dillian, because Dillian loves to be in the trenches in a fight. It’s not the end of the road, but I’m gonna be favoring towards Dillian in this one.”

Although Josh Warrington thinks Dillian Whyte will beat Anthony Joshua, he doesn’t think Joshua would retire with another setback. Instead, he thinks Joshua still has a lot of big fights and paydays left in him.

“Maybe his limelight might die down for a few months, but I don’t feel like he’s done. Say if he did lose and he came back against someone like Deontay Wilder and beat Wilder, it’s heavyweight boxing,” Warrington said. “Football teams can be on a good run of form, have one loss and then next week have the chance to make up for it. But in boxing, as soon as you take a loss, that’s it, you’re ‘done’. But then you come back, you beat somebody else and then you’re back on form again.”
