Eddie Hearn is doubtful that Anthony Joshua’s next fight will be against Dillian Whyte.
‘AJ’ is targeting an opponent for August as he plans ahead for an end-of-year fight with Deontay Wilder. The former world champion earned a decision win over Jermaine Franklin in April but looked far from his best and is hoping to get another fight under his belt as he continues to work with new trainer Derrick James, leading AJ’s team to shut down talks of a potential showdown with Tyson Fury in September.
Hearn stated earlier this month that an offer had been made to Whyte for a proposed fight in August. However, the Matchroom promoter has admitted that the rematch between the pair is unlikely to take place due to financial demands.
