DILLIAN WHYTE is expected to return to the ring this autumn following his brutal knockout defeat to Tyson Fury in April.

The Body Snatcher was dropped by a textbook Fury uppercut in the sixth that saw his world title dream dashed.

Whyte was given oxygen in his corner after being knocked out in front of 94,000 at Wembley.

And now promoter Ben Shalom has confirmed Whyte, 34, is likely to return to action this autumn.

SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this month that Derek Chisora could be offered the chance to fight Whyte if he beats Kubrat Pulev on July 9.

And Shalom is hoping Whyte will make his comeback before the year is out.

The promoter said on Sky Sports: “I know that he’s going to fight again whether it’s with this broadcaster or that broadcaster or that promoter, I don’t know but it would be great to see Dillian back.

“I don’t think that was him against Tyson Fury, I think anyone can see that and I want to see him back in the ring.

“I think he was such a fan favourite on Sky for so many years, it would be great, there’s a lot of big fights still out there for him and again I think he will be fighting in Autumn and hopefully, we’ll be involved.”

Head of BOXXER Shalom was speaking about new signing Joseph Parker and listed him as a possible opponent for Whyte – if talks with Joe Joyce break down.

Whyte and Parker have already met once before – at the 02 in 2018 – when the Brit edged a closely-fought contest on points.

Elsewhere Whyte has been tipped as a top target for Daniel Dubois.

Dynamite Dan vowed Whyte is “getting it” after the latter accused him of “quitting” in his 2020 loss to Joyce.
