Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) is going to return on August 12, but it is not yet known who will be his next opponent. Subject Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs) is back in the spotlight, and as usual, he expresses his desires very sharply.
Eddie Hearn, a promoter working with both fighters, confirmed that pre-negotiations are already under way. Yesterday, the head of Matchroom was supposed to present his financial proposal to White.
"I'm not aware of any talk of fighting White," Joshua quickly responded on social media as he was expected to face Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) in Saudi Arabia in December after an expected win. in August.
"You coward who keeps saying all this shit and then deletes your posts, stop being a bitch and start fighting," White tweeted.
Joshua and White have already met twice. For the first time, when they were just starting their amateur careers, in three two-minute rounds, White was better. In December 2015, already in the pros, AJ knocked out Dillian in the seventh round with a beautiful right uppercut.
