Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte fight for third time on August 12, first since 2015
Posted : 07 July 2023
Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte are scheduled for a highly-anticipated rematch in London on August 12. The fight comes after their first encounter in December 2015, where Joshua knocked out Whyte on his path to becoming a two-time world champion. This rematch serves as a chance for Whyte to seek redemption after his amateur defeat to Joshua in 2009.
While Joshua has experienced continued success in his career, Whyte's journey has faced setbacks, including his loss to Tyson Fury in his only world title challenge last year. Both fighters are eager to settle the score with a decisive victory in this anticipated bout.
Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that the fight was agreed upon after Whyte requested the removal of a rematch clause, indicating that this could be the final showdown between these long-standing rivals. The deep-rooted rivalry between the two fighters guarantees an intense battle that promises fireworks for the fans.
For Joshua, this fight is another opportunity to prove himself after recent defeats to Oleksandr Usyk. His victory against Jermaine Franklin in April marked a step towards his resurgence, and he aims to continue his journey back to the top of the heavyweight division. Joshua also has his sights set on a potential fight against Deontay Wilder in December.
If Whyte emerges victorious in the rematch, he could earn a shot at Wilder, highlighting the high stakes involved for both fighters in this upcoming clash. Fans can anticipate an exciting showdown as Joshua and Whyte prepare to settle the score once and for all.
