Dillian Whyte has been left disappointed by talks for a potential rematch with Anthony Joshua, explaining that promoter Eddie Hearn and broadcaster DAZN are not keen to commit to such a bout.
Whyte and Joshua share a long-standing rivalry that includes bouts at amateur and professional levels. Whyte won the first contest but was stopped in the paid ranks years later as Olympic gold medalist Joshua began to work towards a world title. The pair appeared to be heading towards a third bout over the last few months.
After Whyte defeated Jermaine Franklin in November at Wembley Arena, he and Joshua found themselves face to face for the first time in months, sharing an awkward exchange at ringside. Hearn has since said that Whyte will be the second stop in Joshua's three-fight comeback plan for 2023, but his felllow Brit isn't so sure that will happen.
