Whyte has criticised AJ for fighting his ‘leftovers’
But before the main event at London’s O2 Arena had even begun, Whyte – who was in attendance with DAZN – landed a verbal blow on his rival by suggesting that he insisted on fighting “leftovers”.
When speaking to iFL TV ahead of the fight, Whyte said: “These c**** don’t want to fight me. Wilder, Joshua… Joshua’s a c***.
“He wants to fight my leftovers and then talks s**t.
“The hardest person to beat is the undefeated heavyweight. He’s been beaten already, his mind is broke.”
Whyte fought Joshua for the British heavyweight title in December 2015 and suffered a defeat by technical knockout in the seventh round.
The rivals have not faced each other since, but ‘the Villain’ has refused to shy away from another potential challenge.
When asked if he would consider fighting AJ again, Whyte explained: “I want to fight. I’m not going to wait for Joshua. Joshua’s unpredictable – imagine Franklin knocks him out today?
“It’s a s**t fight but who knows?”
He then continued his X-rated rant, adding: “They were looking for a victim for Joshua to look good against. He (Joshua) should’ve fought me. That’s a fight that people would want to see, not Franklin.
“Why does he need a warm-up to fight me?
“There’s a lot of cowards in this game. I’m here to fight, I want to fight. I don’t give a f**k about losses, wins, draws – I just want to fight and give the fans entertainment and good fights.
“These guys are killing boxing, they keep dodging.”
Despite his win over Franklin, Joshua admitted that he was underwhelmed with the outcome.
He told talkSPORT: “Yeah, I’m a bit disappointed.
“I’m disappointed because it wasn’t a knockout. Fans are bored of 12 rounders.”
And Whyte continued to rub salt into the wound by suggesting that AJ should quit boxing altogether.
He told the BBC: “Joshua has lost all his aggression and killer instincts.
“If he doesn’t want to do it any more, I think he should stop.”
