Hearn Discusses Communication with Whyte Since His Return

Promoter Eddie Hearn has spoken about his current relationship with British heavyweight Dillian Whyte.

"I haven't spoken to him—I've actually only received one message from him following his positive doping test from last August. It's great to see him back. I don't know where he will be allowed to fight, but I hope he can get a big fight," said Hearn.

Hearn and Whyte worked together for nearly all of Dillian's career. In August of last year, the British fighter's tests came back positive for banned substances, which led to the cancellation of a fight against Anthony Joshua, another one of Hearn's clients.

Whyte legally proved his innocence and, upon his return, won by technical knockout against Christian Hammer.
