the british boxer Anthony Joshuaformer world heavyweight champion, will face his compatriot Dillian Whyte on August 12 in a rematch at o2 arena londonas announced this Thursday by the night’s promoters.
Joshua, 33, followed that up with an incredible points win over American Jermaine Franklin in April, a win that boosted his career at least after conceding two consecutive defeats to the now-champion. Oleksandr Usik.
The long negotiations between Joshua and Tyson Furythe WBC title champion, in a possible fight that split them up again and Whyte ultimately rivals Joshua, who defeated him in 2015 in a fight for the British and Commonwealth titles.
“I made it clear that my plan was to be active this year. August 12 is when I will be ready to fight,” said Joshua along with his storied promoter, Eddie Hearn.
Whyte, 35, also scored a win against Franklin himself at Wembley in November, seven months after his loss to Fury at the same London stadium in April 2022.
If he succeeds against Whyte, Joshua looks to be the one to take Deontay Wilder in another lucrative heavyweight bout.
