Dillian Whyte hints at next opponent in potential summer fight in America

Whyte reveals Arreola is potential option for American summer heavyweight fight

Dillian Whyte has welcomed a match-up with Chris Arreola later in the year, with the winner to face Andy Ruiz Jr at the latter stages of 2021.

The British heavyweight defeated Alexander Povetkin with an explosive stoppage last time out in their rematch back in March.

Arreola lost at the weekend to Andy Ruiz Jr who managed to rise to his feet after an early knockdown, and 'The Body Snatcher' has welcomed a fight with the 'well acquitted' American.

"I think also Chris Arreola might be somebody to look at, because he just acquitted himself well against Adam Kownacki and Andy Ruiz," Whyte told Sky Sports' Toe 2 Toe podcast.

"It would be good if I could blow him away in four or five rounds as well, because my name has been matched with Andy Ruiz and those kind of guys.

"I thought he [Arreola] won the fight with Andy Ruiz, to be honest. I thought he won it by a split decision. He's another for us to look at as well.

"He's well known, a tough guy. Three-time world title challenger. Very good Mexican fighter as well.

Whyte also revealed his plans to eventually 'take out' Andy Ruiz in an eventual meeting, and revealed his feelings after Ruiz was defeated by Joshua in his rematch.

"Arreola fights like a real Mexican unlike that fat, fake Mexican. Like I said before, Candy Ruiz is all stomach and no heart. He had 30 pounds of fat sucked out of him and he still looks like a messy blob."

"You've beat the unified heavyweight champion of the world, you have basically all the marbles, apart from the WBC, and if you couldn't motivate yourself enough to get in shape and come into that fight?

"Had he beaten Joshua, he would have been the best heavyweight around. The guy would have changed his family history forever.

"If you can't motivate yourself for that fight, then you're a wasteman. You are a wasteman, and that's my opinion of him."
