Tempers starting to act up as Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte came face-to-face after the Whyte VS Chisora fight, regarding the confrontation of a world title match.
Moments after Dillian Whyte knocked out his opponent Derek Chisora; he called out to his old rival Joshua at the ring and demanded for himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.
Whyte shouting at Joshua, “rematch! Let’s go, Lt’s go.”
Joshua keeping his cool said to Whyte, “Dillian let us forget about what happened in our fight in the past. That was at British Level and now we are at the world level. We will see what we can do about it. It was a good fight back then but we now need to see where we are at now. We both know how the list goes. Its either No.1 or No. 2 and if they are not available then anyone ho deserves the shot, it is clearly Dillian.”
The current priority for Joshua is still a match against Deontay Wilder for the undisputed heavyweight title on April 13t, 2019 at Wembley Stadium.
Whyte talking to Joshua as both stood at close quarters, “I won’t wait for you. I need to know what I am doing. I have my own career to look out for. We are either fighting or we are not.”
Promoter Eddie Hearn intervened at this moment and gave hope to Whyte for his shot to attain his long-held desire for a crack at the World Title.
Hearn said, “It is a matter of when not if. Whyte will become a WBO mandatory for Joshua’s title, which will be due in September next year. It is very clear that our target is currently Wilder but Whyte will also get his shot at world title. If Wilder does not want to fight Joshua a then it has to be Whyte. Whyte is no. 1 with WBC and will become mandatory with WBO and Joshua wants to fight him.”
