Anthony Joshua has reportedly agreed to remove the rematch clause from his contract in order to secure a fight with his rival Dillian Whyte. Initially, Whyte was the frontrunner to face Joshua on August 12 at The O2 arena, but talks for the highly anticipated domestic clash hit a snag when it was revealed that Whyte hadn't spoken with Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn in a month.
Whyte insisted on the removal of the rematch clause before signing the contract for the fight. Hearn has now confirmed that they have revised their offer accordingly.
Hearn told Boxing Social (via the Mirror): "The great news is now they have a contract with no rematch clause for August 12. There is absolutely nothing in the contract of any regard that is going to cause any problems, let's see.
