Speaking to Sky Sports, the 31-year-old has rated each top heavyweight fighter ahead of a potential bout with them.

Whyte believes he has what it takes to drop Joshua on the canvass: "Two-time heavyweight world champion. What can I say? I'd love a third fight with him because the score is 1-1."

"I can beat him. He is open to the left hook and I've got the best left hook in the business. I believe I can knock him out, and I believe I will...Whoever wants it, can get it."

The former Common Wealth champion also believes he can beat WBC champion Wilder if they cross path after Bronze Bomber takes on Fury in February in 2020.

"Coward. Chicken. Yellow-livered hill-billy," Whyte said on Wilder.

"It would be a tough fight because he is quite agile with awkward movement. I would expect a tough fight but I believe I can knock Wilder out."

"People might laugh but I believe I can get to him, and knock him out...It wouldn't be a fight where I would jab my way in. I'd run at him in the first round and start brawling and, if I get chinned, then so be it."
