DILLIAN WHYTE is just days away from making his huge return to the ring – and fans can’t wait!
The Brixton star was all set to face Joe Joyce in April for what was expected to be a blockbuster British battle.

However, the fight got scuppered as Whyte was forced to withdraw after suffering a severe finger injury during training.
But to the delight of boxing fans, Whyte’s medical team has given him the all-clear to get back in the ring and continue what he hopes can be a pathway to the top.
And the British icon will be determined to build on his most recent seventh-round stoppage demolition over Ebenezer Tetteh last December.
Whyte, 37, has been linked to fight against several superstars, including British boxing hero and bitter rival Anthony Joshua.
AJ is unlikely to be in the other corner for his next bout, even though Whyte admitted that Joshua would be a ‘perfect opponent’, but this doesn’t mean that whoever he fights next won’t be just as good.

What has been said?
Dillian Whyte still wanted to fight Joe Joyce even after suffering a severe finger injury and he opened up on how it happened.
Speaking to talkSPORT in March, the British star said: “I was training as usual and there was a guy next to me in the gym and he dropped his weights and it rolled down.
“As I put my weight down, I ended up catching his finger between his dumbell and my dumbell.
“I still wanted to fight so I didn’t tell my team, I had a few days off with a chest infection.
“But it cut right to the bone although I just thought I could get stitches and put it back in a glove again.
“It’s cut down the first joint so it’s hard for me to bend it and I can’t clench my first properly.”
