DILLIAN WHYTE is in line for an end of year blockbuster against Deontay Wilder or Andy Ruiz Jr – after enjoying a summer break in America. The British fan-favourite put his career on the line in March, as he knocked out Alexander Povetkin in his must-win rematch.

It came after he was stunned by the Russian, 41, in August by rolling the dice and staying active at the top of the heavyweight division.
With a possible wait to face either Anthony Joshua, 31, or Tyson Fury, 32, who are still in negotiations, Whyte, 32, is set to make his return in the US.
A win would build his brand Stateside, while lining him up with America’s top two talents.
Eddie Hearn told SunSport: “I had a chat with him the other day.
“I feel like he’s been massively under pressure in all these big fights for a long, long time.
“I feel like he needs to go and enjoy himself and by doing that, go to the US and raise his profile in a good fight in New York in the summer or something like that, that’s what we’re looking at.
“I think realistically the bigger fight with Dillian is going to come at the end of the year. Whether that is Ruiz or Wilder.
“I don’t think Wilder knows what he’s doing. He needs to get back and fight. We’ll see.”FREE BETS: GET OVER £2,000 IN SIGN UP OFFERS HERE
Whyte has won plaudits for his love of risky matchmaking, with credible wins over Povetkin, Joseph Parker, Derek Chisora and Oscar Rivas.
The mix of ex-champions, experienced campaigners and fellow contenders means he has earned his long-awaited shot at the title the hard way.
But with the threat of AJ and Fury occupying the belts until their double header is completed, Whyte can be afforded a slight step down across the pond.
Hearn said: “You’ve got Jermaine Franklin, who’s a US heavyweight, 20-0, he’s fighting Stephan Shaw, who is a 14-0 heavyweight.
“The winner of that could be an option.”
Another name is Trevor Bryan, 31, currently the WBA’s secondary ‘Regular’ champion.

It would offer Whyte a different way into title contention, while earning him his first piece of gold at world level.
Promoter Hearn said: “It’s not a mega-fight but it’s a very credible fight, ‘Regular’ title.
“Dillian would love to win that fight, that’s an option as well.”
Whyte was ranked the WBC’s No1 challenger for over 1,000 days without receiving a shot at the title, which was held by Wilder, 35.
After he beat Rivas, 33, in July 2019, he was finally instated as mandatory, but one left uppercut from Povetkin saw the status go up in smoke.
With Whyte set to again play the waiting game, Hearn plans for him to remain busy, while taking the pressure off slightly.

That will involve potentially hitting the road, adding more chapters to an already storied career.
He explained: “It’s a bit of a waiting game with the WBC, but he knows he’s back in position.
“He’s just gotta stay active, and by staying active I don’t think he should go back into the UK.
“Everyone has seen him in the UK in big fights, that’s what you expect from Dillian Whyte.
“UK fans are not going to be happy for Dillian Whyte to take a couple of lesser fights.
“But to do that with a story by going to America, we can do it maybe internationally, that’s something that will appeal to him.”

He started preparations with United this week before officially taking over from Ralf Rangnick after the end of the season.
And part of his mammoth task will be to oversee the transfer window.
Plenty of Ajax stars past and present are being linked with the Red Devils – such as Lisandro Martinez and Frenkie de Jong.
But as revealed by SunSport, winger Antony could be top of the wishlist.

“Know that I will always stand with you if you need me.”
Ten Hag brought Antony to Ajax in 2020 and the forward, 22, has racked up 22 goals and 20 assists in his 79 appearances as well as two Eredivisie titles.
However, the new United gaffer may face competition from rivals Liverpool for his star’s signature.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with Antony in recent months.
Ajax defender Daley Blind admitted his side have a tough task keeping hold of their top players.
The former United man said: “I don’t think Ajax will let players go that easily. You have to have a team next year that will compete again in the Champions League and for the title.
“If the main price is paid for Sebastien Haller or Antony, then Ajax will accept it, but I don’t think Ajax wants to sell many players. I hope most of them just stay.” More

AN F1 team could have their cars SEIZED as a Russian former sponsor demands £10million be paid back after their deal was terminated.Haas were ordered to pay back money to Uralkali earlier this year from funds transferred to the team in early 2022.Haas face having their cars seizedCredit: ReutersBut that became impossible following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Russian companies like Uralkali have been under economic sanctions meaning the likes of Haas have been unable to make transactions.It means returning the €12million (£10m) that a Swiss arbitrator ordered must be paid back has proven difficult. Haas have now sent out a statement to racingnews365 to indicate they do plan to pay the money back.
