Dillian Whyte Withdraws from Joe Joyce Fight

Dillian Whyte has withdrawn from his April 5 heavyweight fight against Joe Joyce due to a finger injury, disrupting the main event at Manchester's Co-op Live Arena. This bout was highly anticipated as Whyte's return to the UK ring after an absence and amid a successful recovery from a past drug test issue, which was later attributed to a contaminated supplement. Promoters are now seeking a replacement for Joyce, who remains eager to compete at a high level despite recent losses to Zhilei Zhang and Derek Chisora. The fight card will still feature other bouts, including Lawrence Okolie vs Richard Riakporhe. Joyce, known for his willingness to face any opponent, continues his quest to regain momentum in the heavyweight division.
