Dillian Whyte blames Eddie Hearn for Anthony Joshua rematch collapsing

Dillian Whyte has blamed Eddie Hearn for the collapse of his Anthony Joshua rematch as he claimed the promoter hasn't spoken to him for a month.

Whyte was in talks to rematch Joshua eight years on from their 2015 fight that 'AJ' won by seventh-round knockout. The fight wasn't the first time the domestic rivals had met in the ring as Whyte beat Joshua in the amateur ranks, meaning their targeted fight on August 12 would have been the third meeting between the pair.

Hearn claimed Whyte turned down an offer for another fight against Joshua as it wasn't near his financial expectations. The Matchroom Boxing boss also admitted there wasn't much negotiation between the two teams before the fight collapsed and Whyte has now given his side of the story.
