Dillian Whyte: Heavyweight pulls out of Joe Joyce fight with injury

Dillian Whyte has withdrawn from his heavyweight fight with fellow Briton Joe Joyce on 5 April because of an injured hand.

Joyce will remain as the headliner for the heavyweight fight night at the Co-op Live, which also includes Lawrence Okolie v Richard Riakporhe and the professional debut of Delicious Orie.

Whyte, 36, has not fought in the UK since 2022.

He was pulled from his rematch with Anthony Joshua in 2023 after failing a voluntary drug test, but has twice fought abroad since then.

Queensberry Promotions say a new opponent for his British rival Joyce will be announced shortly.

Joyce, 39, is facing a crossroads in his career after one win in his last four fights.

The former Olympian was stopped twice by Zhilei Zhang in 2023 before losing to Derek Chisora in his last outing last July.
