Anthony Joshua launched an expletive-fuelled rant to deny reports that he is fighting Dillian Whyte in August.
Joshua, 34, has been linked to a rematch against domestic rival Whyte before a potential fight against Deontay Wilder in December, but the former two-time heavyweight champion has insisted he knows nothing about the former. ‘AJ’ denied the reports by quoting an iconic lyric from Stormzy’s ‘WickedSkengMan Part 4’ song.
The posts weren’t up for long as Joshua deleted both of them, but they caught the attention of Whyte who then issued a response to his rival.
Joshua was beaten by Whyte when the pair fought over a decade ago as amateurs, but he avenged the loss in their professional rematch in 2015.
Hearn added of the potential rematch between the pair: “The Dillian Whyte fight is a very dangerous fight for AJ, it’s very ballsy fight to go into when you’ve got that payday against Deontay Wilder in December, but that’s his preferred fight now. That fight’s got to get done, but that is his preferred opponent for August.”
