Background
Their original contest was somewhat of a grudge match, owing to the fact that Whyte had beaten Joshua during their amateur careers. Bad blood and trash talk persisted in the build-up, with AJ vowing to set matters straight now that both boxers were in the paid ranks. Duly keeping his word, he knocked out Whyte in seventh in a largely entertaining bout.
Both fighters have had successful careers since their first encounter – although both have faced various setbacks to boot… Anthony Joshua, a former unified heavyweight champion, has faced some of the top names in the division, including Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker, Kubrat Pulev, and Alexander Povetkin. However, he has since lost to Andy Ruiz Jr. (avenged) and Oleksandr Usyk (twice).
Dillian Whyte, on the other hand, has also had notable victories including former champions Lucas Browe and Joseph Parker. However, he has come up short when facing Povetkin and Tyson Fury, while also enduring accusations of taking PED’s – which were later dropped.
Common Opponents
Joshua and Whyte have not only shared the ring with each other but have also faced three common opponents, providing an interesting point of comparison between their performances.
One of these opponents is Alexander Povetkin. Joshua faced Povetkin and secured a victory by TKO in the seventh round. In contrast, Whyte initially faced Povetkin and suffered a fifth-round TKO loss. However, Whyte avenged his defeat in a rematch the following year, stopping Povetkin in the fourth round.
Another shared opponent is Joseph Parker. Both Joshua and Whyte went the distance with Parker and emerged victorious by unanimous decision after twelve rounds, showcasing their ability to outpoint a skilled and durable opponent.
Lastly, Jermaine Franklin has also faced both boxers. Joshua went the full distance with Franklin and earned a unanimous decision victory. On the other hand, Whyte had a closer encounter with Franklin, securing a majority decision win, indicating a more competitive matchup.
These common opponents offer insights into the performances and capabilities of both Joshua and Whyte. While Joshua has shown superiority in his victories over Povetkin and Franklin, Whyte’s experience against these opponents demonstrates his resilience and ability to adapt in rematches. The shared victory over Joseph Parker further establishes the competitive level between the two fighters.
