Dillian Whyte reclaimed his WBC Interim heavyweight strap by knocking out Alexander Povetkin in their much-awaited rematch last night. He is once again back to the title ride and ‘The Body Snatcher’ doesn’t want to wait longer to get his shot at the champions.
That said, he is mandatory to Tyson Fury’s WBC belt and can rightfully demand his spot. However, the heavyweight division might see its biggest unification clash of the time in Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.
So, naturally, it will keep Dillian Whyte away from the picture. Nevertheless, the Brit has chalked up a sheepish plan to replace his former foe, Anthony Joshua. After his latest win over Povetkin, Whyte connected with Sky Sports and revealed his plan on getting an immediate title shot.

He said, “I am not here to wait, I have waited long enough. Theres’ no reason I should wait anymore.”
‘The Body Snatcher’ added, “I just break Joshua’s leg once they commit the fight, and after that, they will just turn up and I fight Fury.”
Meanwhile, the scenario might not be that simple even if Anthony Joshua walks away. Akin to Whyte, Oleksandr Usyk and Joe Joyce will battle it out to grab the WBO Interim heavyweight title. Thus, there will be more than one mandatory in the queue for the current heavyweight belts.
What’s next for Dillian Whyte? Title or a non-title fight?
As the Interim champion, Whyte can demand a championship fight, but if that doesn’t happen, the Brit can also enter several lucrative battles. WBC President Sulaiman has expressed his desire in lining up Whyte against former champion, Deontay Wilder.

Since losing his maiden pro fight against Fury, Wilder hasn’t announced his in-ring comeback. While Whyte wants to remain active, a fight against ‘The Bronze Bomber’ will be worthy of him jeopardizing his mandatory status.
