Anthony Joshua will return on August 12th. Dillian Whyte is the front runner to face him. Nonito Donaire faces Alexandro Santiago on July 15th in a TBA location in the U.S. Rapidly rising prospect Albert Batyrgaziev coming off a career best win against Jezreel Corrales faces fellow unbeaten fighter Francis Villar Frometa(17-0) on 29th July in Russia. World title challenger Daigo Higa fights experienced Sirichai Thaiyen (65-4) in Tokyo on 24th June. Former world champion Felix Alvarado bounces back against journeyman Armando Hernandez Torres on 10th June in Miami.
Why is Whyte pushed to the forefront all the time? Joshua has already beaten him, and I believe he will win again, not as convincingly as the first time, but he should win...
Very easy fight to make, easy to promote due to domestic appeal. It isn't that meaningful from a world perspective, but these guys just need to fight *someone*.
