Major rival of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua set to return to the ring

Published: Nov 17, 2024

Dillian Whyte is set to return to the ring on December 15th as he plots a return back to the business end of the heavyweight division.

After enduring issues with a drug test last year that forced his bout with Anthony Joshua to be postponed, Whyte has largely been absent from the bigger picture at heavyweight.

Once one of British boxing's biggest draws thanks to epic contests with Derek Chisora, Tyson Fury, and Joshua, Whyte is currently rebuilding himself and is hopeful of a return to the grand stage in 2025.

The heavyweight scene is currently thriving with numerous big fights on taking place and that trend is set to continue with Fury vs. Usyk on December 21, live on DAZN , and Daniel Dubois set to defend his world title in February.

Whyte is eager to be part of such contests, and he can get those plans up and running when he faces Ebenezer Tetteh in Gibraltar next month, another fight that can be seen live on DAZN .

The tough Ghanaian has only lost one fight and that was when he was stopped by Dubois in 2019.

Tetteh possesses an impressive record on paper, but he’ll be facing a huge step up in class when he faces the former world title challenger.
