Whyte urges Joshua to fight Paul for money

By Daily Sports Nigeria on August 13, 2025

British heavyweight Dillian Whyte says Anthony Joshua should fight Jake Paul for a lucrative purse, but insists he still has unfinished business with Joshua himself.

Whyte, 37, will be a huge underdog against the highly rated Moses Itauma in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

Meanwhile, talks about an unlikely match-up between two-time heavyweight world champion Joshua and YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul have intensified in recent weeks

“It’s a business, man. If [Joshua v Paul] makes sense and does numbers, why not?” Whyte told BBC Sport

“[Joshua] has won the championship twice, had a lot of fights and done a lot so I don’t know.

“I’m sure he’ll make more money than he did in some of his title fights so sometimes if you can make some money then make some money.”

Whyte lost to Joshua in 2015 for the British title in a memorable grudge match.

A 2023 rematch was scrapped after Whyte failed a drug test. He protested his innocence, claimed he was cleared of any wrongdoing and returned to action in March 2024.

“I would love to have a chance to right my wrong,” Whyte said.
