But six years later, Joshua levelled it up with a brutal seventh-round stoppage with a trilogy decider still being discussed.

Whyte was ringside to watch AJ’s comeback fight against Jermaine Franklin – who he beat in November – and called out his old rival.

He told DAZN: “I hope he wins tonight because I want to fight him next.

“Me against the Franklin, the winner should have been fighting AJ, it was supposed to be the winner fights AJ next and he is fighting the loser.

“So I hopes he wins tonight. I want the chance to redeem myself because he keeps playing this video of him knocking me out years and years ago and I want revenge.”

Joshua, 33, went on to beat Franklin, 29, over 12 rounds to bounce back from consecutive defeats.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has teased a rematch with Whyte, 34, next while Tyson Fury, 34, also remains in the mix.

But one thing is for certain, Whyte was left far from impressed by AJ’s performance at the O2.

He said: “I don’t think he looked particularly good tonight.

“He seems a bit apprehensive, the right hand is still there and the boxing skills are still there, but the aggression is not there.

“The difference is in the last two rounds I went after Franklin, he didn’t. I’ll always have a go, win, lose or draw, I’ll have a go.”
