Dillian Whyte has hit out at Anthony Joshua's "b*******" decision to face Jermaine Franklin in his heavyweight comeback.
Joshua has not fought since losing in his rematch to Oleksandr Usyk last August, but his promoter Eddie Hearn suggested Whyte would get the call for his comeback fight. The 'Body Snatcher' appeared to set up the clash by narrowly defeating American heavyweight Franklin in December.
However after months of negotiations following Joshua's appointment of new trainer Derrick James, terms are understood to be agreed with Franklin for the fight to take place on April 1 at London's O2 Arena. Whyte has been left fuming after news broke that he would miss out on a second meeting, but has stated he is not shocked by the choice.
