Overview

• The 37-year-old told Sky Sports and posted on social media that this is not the end of his career and that he will be back.
• Whyte was stopped by the 20-year-old prospect in 119 seconds earlier this month.
• Reporting suggests near-term matchmaking will focus on domestic or lower-risk opponents instead of names like Joseph Parker or Anthony Joshua.
• A third meeting with Derek Chisora has been floated as a winnable, marketable option, though Chisora has not shown interest in recent interviews.
• The loss follows a disrupted period marked by injuries, a 2023 positive test later attributed to a contaminated supplement, and limited top-level activity since 2022.
