SUMMER just got a lot more exciting as Anthony Joshua is all set to renew his bitter boxing rivalry with British heavyweight Dillian Whyte.
And fans won’t have to wait long to see the action unfold!
Anthony Joshua recovered from his Oleksandr Usyk defeats to beat Jermaine Franklin
Dillian Whyte beat Jermaine Franklin in a 2022 battle
The all-London affair was meant to take place in April following Whyte’s recent marginal victory over Jeramine Franklin.
However, AJ wanted a piece of the American too – a decision that left the Body Snatcher furious.
But boxing lovers saw Joshua’s fight choice as a tactical one having suffered consecutive defeats to Ukranian superstar Oleksandr Usyk just before.
Plus, both heavyweights going into this contest with a win under their belts now makes it an intriguing contest.
This is a rivalry that stems from 2009 when Whyte got the better of Joshua at amateur level.
AJ then got revenge in 2015 when he dropped the Brixton-brawler to win the British heavyweight title.
So now the trilogy match is perfectly set up for one of these reformed millionaires to have the last laugh at the back end of their illustrious careers.
