Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte faced off for the first time ahead of their rematch next month.
The domestic rivals meet again on August 12 at The O2 arena, the same venue that hosted their first meeting eight years ago. Joshua and Whyte were both unbeaten in their professional careers at the time as ‘AJ’ captured the British heavyweight title by knocking out Whyte in the seventh round.
Joshua’s stoppage win avenged his loss to Whyte on the amateur circuit in 2009, meaning that August 12 will mark the third time the duo have fought each other across all levels. Joshua said: "I'm definitely up for fighting, there are a lot of names in the division but look what this creates this does great business.
