Dillian Whyte appears to be edging closer to his comeback after recovering from shoulder surgery.

The Brixton heavyweight has been out of action since losing a thrilling December fight against his bitter rival Anthony Joshua.

"Shoulder treatment," Whyte posted on Instagram alongside a picture of needles tending to his injury. "It's almost time to fight again. Fight date coming next week let's do this. #returnofthebodysnatcher."

There isn't yet any confirmation about Whyte's opponent or the date of his proposed return.

The 27-year-old, who lost his previously unbeaten record against Joshua, injured his shoulder mid-way through that grudge match.
