BIG MONEY AJ DATE THE PRIZE IN WHYTE FIGHT

- JEFF POWELL

DILLIAN WHYTE is on a fortune as added incentive to win his comeback fight. Then again, so is his American opponent, Jermaine Franklin. Promoter Eddie Hearn has promised ‘millions’ to whoever wins tonight in the Wembley Arena, by way of a fight with Anthony Joshua. Joshua needs a dance partner to help him decide how best to go again at championsh­ip level. That proposed warm-up will be against Whyte or the undefeated Franklin. Whyte proclaims himself ‘still a lion ready to come roaring out of my cage’. Franklin, meanwhile, is vowing to finish Whyte’s career.

On the same night at the O2 is an all-British affair, as Zach Parker and John Ryder do battle for the

WBO interim supermiddl­eweight title. Whyte v Franklin is live on DAZN, with Parker v Ryder live on BT Sport
