Whyte Supports: Joshua vs. Paul, Million Dollar Fight in Boxing?

Dillian Whyte has expressed his support for a possible clash between former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul, the YouTube sensation turned boxer. The 37-year-old boxer, who will face Moses Itauma on Saturday in Saudi Arabia, has given his opinion 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 been champion twice and has had many fights. According to Whyte, Joshua could earn more money than he got in some of his title fights.

Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, recently revealed that conversations 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!

Whyte also mentioned his own fight against Joshua and his desire to avenge the knockout defeat in the seventh round in 2015, when they both fought for the British heavyweight title. “I would love to have the opportunity to amend my mistake,” Whyte said.
