More likely, Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs) will not become the closest opponent Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs), who is scheduled to return to the ring on August 12. The "body snatcher" expressed disagreement on a number of points in the contract offered to him for the fight, which was sent by Matchroom Boxing.
“Eddie Hearn said he would send us a simple contract. Meanwhile, there are many moments that do not suit us. There is a rematch clause or a subclause that gives them the ability to change the fight date,” White said.
“I went to this fight not because of the money, but because of the opportunity. If I beat Joshua, I want to fight Deontay Wilder in December in Saudi Arabia. And they want me to fight Joshua again if I win. This contract limits my future plans,” White added.
In this situation, Matchroom Boxing will probably decide to sign a contract with another opponent. Potential names for Joshua in August include Agit Kabayel and Otto Wallin.
