Whyte Supports Joshua vs. Paul Clash: Business or Sport?

Dillian Whyte has expressed his opinion on a possible match between former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and YouTube sensation turned boxer, Jake Paul. Whyte, 37, who will face Moses Itauma on Saturday in Saudi Arabia, commented on the possibility of a fight between Joshua and Paul. It’s a business, man. If [Joshua vs. Paul] makes sense and generates numbers, why not? Whyte added that Joshua has won the championship twice and has had many fights, so he is not sure about the decision. He believes that Joshua could earn more money than he earned in some of his title fights, and sometimes, if money can be made, it should be taken advantage of.

Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, recently revealed that talks are underway about a possible fight with Paul.

At first I thought it was a publicity stunt by Jake and now, the more I talk to them, the more I understand: Jake Paul thinks he can beat Anthony Joshua!
