DILLIAN WHYTE has hit out at Anthony Joshua following his bitter rival’s X-rated denial of a rematch being in the works.
Whyte has been earmarked as the second opponent for AJ’s career rebuild, which began in April with a scrappy points win over Jermaine Franklin.
But Joshua recently denied negotiations being underway in a now-deleted post, writing: “I don’t know about any talks to fight Dillian Whyte.
“Every day. AJ this, AJ that, AJ’s hairline going way back but I’ll still f*** your girl go retweet that.”
It didn’t take long for Whyte to get wind of Joshua’s expletive denial of a rematch being in the pipeline, which he responded to in blistering fashion.
The Brixton Body Snatcher tweeted: “How’s about you stop being a b***h and let’s make the fight you f***ing weird guy.

“Always talking s**t tweeting stuff then deleting be a man you little b***h @anthonyjoshua.”
The rivalry between Joshua and Whyte, 33 and 35 respectively, dates all the way back to their 2009 amateur clash.
Whyte won the pair’s first showdown but came up short in their professional meeting six years later, suffering a brutal seventh-round TKO loss.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua plans to return to the ring in August ahead of a mouthwatering Saudi showdown with Deontay Wilder in December.

When asked if Joshua and Whyte could renew their rivalry in August, promoter Eddie Hearn told The DAZN Boxing Show: “Correct.
“That’s what they want to do, but we’ve been told that our fight precedes whatever happens with Tyson [Fury].
“But we all know AJ against Wilder is a dream heavyweight matchup, one of the biggest in the sport.
“Yeah, we’re up for that fight. We’re committed to those conversations; there have been conversations, and we’ll see.
“As I said, what happens with Saudi this week, but we obviously need a formal contract for that which they’re working on. That is our plan.

“If there is an opportunity to do a Tyson Fury fight, and we have to scrap the other two, I’m sure that’ll be looked at as well.
“But it’s the confidence to move forward. “We don’t want anything to get in the way of AJ’s plans. He’s in Camp now in Texas, training for his August fight.”
