Joshua: ''Whyte Must Refind Finishing Instinct''

Unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has urged Dillian Whyte to find his finishing instinct after a shock defeat by Alexander Povetkin.

Whyte was knocked out by Povetkin in five rounds on Saturday after flooring the Russian twice in round four.

It ends the 32-year-old's immediate hopes of a world-title shot against WBC champion Tyson Fury but Joshua is open to facing Whyte if he wins a rematch.

"As long as I am champion he always has a chance," Joshua told 5 Live Boxing.

"I'll fight Dillian any day of the week," added Joshua, in an interview that will be available in Monday's 5 Live Boxing Podcast.
