Anthony Joshua wants grudge rematch with rival Dillian Whyte as next fight but will have to wait until next year
ANTHONY JOSHUA has asked promoter Eddie Hearn to set up a grudge rematch against old enemy Dillian Whyte, according to the Times.
The giants clashed as amateurs – with rookie Joshua swallowing a loss – and fought for the British title in 2015 with AJ getting KO revenge after being shook early on.

On top of that trio, Klitschko is taking a month to recuperate before deciding whether he wants to activate the rematch clause he had in his multi-million pound contract.

And now the Times reveals that Joshua still wants to face White again with the hope of putting in a more dominant performance.
Whyte is due to box Mariusz Wach, a 6ft 7in Pole on June 3, and a victory should secure him a title shot with one of the major governing bodies.
The 29-year-old was a TV pundit to watch WBO champion Joseph Parker’s tedious and one-sided defence against laughing Romanian punchbag Razvan Cojanu.
And the Jamaica-born brawler saw enough to make him beg for a shot at the Kiwi but he also has eyes on a massive pay-day against Tony Bellew.
