"I still want the world title". Dillian Whyte is eagerly anticipating his return to the ring

British heavyweight boxer Dillian Whyte has shared his expectations for his upcoming return to the professional ring.

On March 17, the Briton, recently cleared of a doping case, will fight against Germany's Christian Hammer.

"I am very excited, it is very good to be back and I'll be looking at opportunities in the future. I have been meaning to return to Ireland for a while, I have got family from here and they can come down to the fight.

Christian Hammer, he is a guy I know, tough guy. Experienced in a lot of fights. It's a very good fight, considering I have been off for 16 months. Very good fight to come back to.

I still want the world title and I still want to fight all the big fights. There is a lot of big fights going on and I want my name to get back amongst the mix and to prove I can still beat these guys." Whyte told Sky Sports.

The former interim WBC champion was allowed to continue his career after an investigation found that the fighter did not intentionally take banned substances.

It is worth recalling that the British boxer tested positive for doping before the fight with Anthony Joshua in August last year. Because of this, their bout was canceled.

Dillian Whyte's last fight took place in November 2022, defeating American Jermaine Franklin by judges' decision.
