Dillian Whyte has urged Anthony Joshua to continue fighting until he finds his form again.
Whyteโs comments come in light of reports suggesting that Joshua is considering retirement following his loss to Daniel Dubois.
Dubois, the IBF heavyweight world champion, delivered a stunning knockout to Joshua in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium in September.
However, in an interview with Sky Sports News, Whyte emphasized that Joshua still has the potential to bounce back, and he believes it would be fantastic to see him face off against Tyson Fury.
โHeโs still got a lot left in the tank and heโs still a big draw. And as you can see in the fight, heโs still a big puncher. He had Dubois going before Dubois landed the finishing blow,โ Whyte told Sky Sports News.
โItโs hard to say, heโs young, heโs strong, he looks in amazing shape. Heโs still got a lot of fight left in him.โ
โPeople put too much emphasis on a defeat in heavyweight boxing,โ Whyte said. โThatโs why a lot of fights donโt happen.
โThey donโt get made because people put a lot of emphasis on win, lose and draw instead of enjoying the fact that two top guys are fighting each other now, which wasnโt happening a few years ago.โ
