# Dillian Whyte Gives His Usyk-Joshua Rematch Prediction

Dillian Whyte has had his say on the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua.

The Brixton heavyweight, who is [plotting a return after being stopped by Tyson Fury earlier this year](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/fury-retains-tyson-topples-whyte-with-brutal-8th-round-uppercut/), has shared the ring with Joshua.

Whyte was on the wrong end of a seventh-round knockout against the former heavyweight champion when the pair clashed at the O2 Arena in London seven years ago.

And the 34-year-old has urged Joshua — who challenges Usyk in a rematch for the WBA Super, IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight titles on Saturday at the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia – to get back his aggressive streak for the fight.

When speaking [Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/SkySportsBoxing/status/1559570932842110982) about his former foe, Whyte said:

> “This is a massive fight, the biggest fight of his career.”
>
> “I do expect him to bounce back, he’s a British fighter, like me, and I only support my own.”
>
> “I do hope he gets the job done and it will be good for me if he wins as well.”

Joshua, who will vie for [Fury’s recently-relinquished Ring Magazine title against Usyk](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/usyk-joshua-for-ring-magazine-belt/) as he looks to become a three-time unified champion, goes back into the ring with the Ukrainian 11 months on from being outpointed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London last September.

Whyte continued about Joshua:

> “He’ll be extremely nervous, alert and cautious but that’s not a bad thing.”
>
> “This changes everything for his life, career and history so he may be feeling okay but I think he’ll be nervous.”
>
> “To be aggressive is the right mindset that he needs to go into this fight. I think that’s the only way he wins the fight.”
