Anthony Joshua could face Dillian Whyte in a rematch, his promoter, Eddie Hearn has confirmed.
Negotiations are also afoot to schedule a bout between Joshua and ‘The Bronze Bomber’ Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia in December.
Recall that Joshua’s last outing in April saw him defeat Jermaine Franklin by unanimous decision at the iconic O2 Arena.
This win marked his triumphant return to boxing since December 2020 and has sparked intense speculation regarding his next opponent.
The British professional boxer had expressed a desire to face off against Wilder, but Hearn believes an additional fight under the guidance of trainer Derrick James would be beneficial for the heavyweight champion.
Hearn, known for his insightful analysis, emphasized the fervor surrounding a potential rematch with Whyte.
He firmly believes that Joshua would be fully motivated to face his rival, highlighting the anticipated intensity of their bout. Negotiations for a December clash in Saudi Arabia between Joshua and Wilder are already underway, with Hearn confidently stating, “They know the numbers we want.”
