Eddie Hearn claims Dillian Whyte will receive a contract for a rematch with long-term rival Anthony Joshua on August 12.
Whyte, 35, hit out at Joshua's promoter after talks for a second professional bout between the pair collapsed. Whyte and Joshua, 33, last fought in December 2015, with AJ stopping the Body Snatcher in the seventh round to win the British heavyweight title.
Whyte claimed Hearn didn't want Joshua to "have a serious fight" against his long-term rival, but the promoter insists he "would love the fight to happen and hopefully it will". British boxing now holds its breath to see if an agreement can finally be reached.
