Dillian in title chat

DAVID HAYE has told Dillian Whyte he can get back in the world title mix if he impresses against Jermaine Franklin.

Whyte, 35, is building towards another world heavyweight title shot after being stopped by WBC king Tyson Fury in April.

Unbeaten Franklin is 21-0 and Haye feels handing the American his first loss at Wembley on Sayurday would push Whyte back up the world rankings.

“This is an opportunity for Dillian to really set the world on fire at a time when the heavyweight division is really up in the air,” said the former WBA heavyweight champ.

“Is Oleksandr Usyk going to lose one of his titles? Are the belts going to get fragmented? If you can put yourself in a position, then anything is possible. It’s that close to having a title fight for all the top heavyweights.”
