DILLIAN WHYTE has Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury all in his sights – and revealed the tactics to beat them.
Whyte, 31, returned to the ring on Saturday for the first time since being cleared by the United Kingdom Anti-Doping Agency of any charges.

The Brixton banger beat Mariusz Wach in Saudi Arabia over ten rounds, and was later reinstated by the WBC as mandatory challenger for Deontay Wilder.
Whyte told Sky Sports he would implement an aggressive gameplan on the Bronze Bomber – even risking falling victim to one of Wilder’s devastating right hands.
He said: “Coward. Chicken. Yellow-livered hill-billy.
“It would be a tough fight because he is quite agile with awkward movement. I would expect a tough fight but I believe I can knock Wilder out.
“People might laugh but I believe I can get to him, and knock him out.
“It wouldn’t be a fight where I would jab my way in. I’d run at him in the first round and start brawling and, if I get chinned, then so be it.”

Whyte’s comeback win came a short while before Joshua exacted revenge on Andy Ruiz Jr and became a two-time unified champion.
AJ learned from the mistakes that haunted him last June in New York, having been decked four times in the seventh round defeat, with a left-hook in third causing all the problems.
And Whyte – who beat Joshua in the amateurs and wobbled him with his own hook in their 2015 rematch – insisted he will use AJ’s kryptonite against him.
He explained: “Two-time heavyweight world champion. What can I say? I’d love a third fight with him because the score is 1-1.
“I can beat him. He is open to the left hook and I’ve got the best left hook in the business. I believe I can knock him out, and I believe I will.”

Despite becoming WBC mandatory again, Whyte has to wait for Wilder to rematch Tyson Fury, with the rivals also signed to a trilogy bout after that.
But Whyte reckons he has Fury’s number if the Brit walks away with the WBC belt, as he revealed fighting in close against the slick footed Gyspy King is the way to victory.
He said: “I don’t know what to say about Tyson Fury.
“He’s a smart businessman – he came back and fought two nobodies, talked his way into the Wilder fight and did alright, and made a lot of money by fighting in WWE.
“He’s awkward and a big guy but I believe I could beat him. You’ve got to target Fury’s body, and pressure him. When Otto Wallin pressured him it caused a lot of problems.”

Whyte watched on in Diriyah as 20st Ruiz was outboxed by Joshua.
And he was not complimentary about the tubby Mexican-American’s frame or performance – but will still fight the ex-champion.
Whyte blasted: “Have you seen Star Wars? He is Jabba The Hutt.

“He should be ashamed of himself. I don’t understand – these guys work so hard to get to a place, then get there, then fall off the edge of a cliff.
“People might say I came in out of shape as well. But that’s a different story, I wasn’t the unified heavyweight champion of the world.
“If Ruiz Jr wants it, he can get it, because he’s now a big player in the game. I’d go to Mexico to fight him.”
