Anthony Joshua vs. Dillian Whyte likely for September 12th for British heavyweight title

06/01/2015 by Demetrius Luke

By Demetrius Luke: British heavyweight prospects Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte are on a collision course to face off in September for the vacant British heavyweight title at The O2 Arena recently vacated by fellow Brit Tyson Fury. Joshua and Whyte have a deep history after facing off in the amateurs with Whyte being the victor. However, the professional game is a whole new level of boxing with both guys growing in physical attributes and maturing mentally, both fighters have looked very good since turning professional both boasting undefeated records.

Anthony Joshua is coming off the back of an impressive 2nd round stoppage win over the experienced American Kevin Johnson. Johnson was tipped to take Anthony Joshua rounds but was blown out inside two rounds which has left Joshua’s promoter realizing his young heavyweight prospect needing to be bought along quicker to a higher level.
