Dillian Whyte to face Brazilian on Sky Sports' live Hull bill | Boxing News | Sky Sports
"Whyte returned from a two-year ban for a positive drug test in November last year and has been inactive since February, partly due to a hand injury.
But if he gets beyond Costa Junior the 27-year-old will be on the bill when Joshua and Gary Cornish meet for the Commonwealth belt on September 12, and a fight with the winner awaits in the autumn.
"It’s great to be boxing back on Sky Sports again after a long absence," said the Brixton fighter, who is 14-0 and on a run of 10 straight knockouts. "It’s the best place to showcase your skills and I’m looking to put in a devastating performance against Costa Junior.
"The British title is a belt that I look forward to fighting for, and beating Anthony Joshua under a year after being back in the ring would be even better."
