      by

      DILLIAN WHYTE is so hellbent on settling the score with Anthony Joshua that he’s willing to fight him on the cheap.A rematch between the British rivals – who first fought in the amateurs all the way back in 2009 – has been mooted for early 2023.

      Revenge has been on Whyte’s mind ever since he lost their professional domestic dust-up seven years ago, so much so that he’d forego his usual purse demands to get his hands on the Watford warrior again.
      The Brixton Body Snatcher told DAZN: “I’ll fight Joshua tomorrow. I’ll fight him for less money.
      “Whenever me and him fight, sparks fly. We just want to beat each other up.”

      Whyte doesn’t foresee his rivalry with the former two-time unified heavyweight champion ever dying.
      He said: “I’ll fight Joshua even when I’m 60. It’s a fight that will make you me faster, diet better, and make me go to bed at 7 o’clock every day.”
      Before Whyte can think about levelling his series with Joshua, he must first get through a tricky tussle with Jermaine Franklin next weekend.
      He said of the American: ” He’s the best opponent at the minute. He’s 22-0.

      But the visitor was cracked a couple of times by the Brit’s golden gloves, stunned by one short and sharp uppercut that rocked back his shaved head.
      A Yarde right hook to Koykov’s left flank was spiteful as well but did not drop the Germany-based visitor.
      Arsenal fan Yarde fired cannons into Koykov’s body in the second but the under-fire underdog did well to stay on his feet.
      Yarde refused to rush his shift, after almost a year out, and when the stoppage came it was precise.
      Koykov’s body was peppered with vicious hooks and then the Englishman went up stairs with a slashing uppercut and folded his man for the count.
      Yarde added: “That wasn’t flawless but no performance ever is.
      “But I have so much confidence going into my next fight.
      “When I beat him I want his spot on the pound-for-pound list.

      Former Love Islander Fury, however, is unhappy at the purse split on offer and recently vented his frustrations on social media.

      “I’m not paying you a pence you dimwit so there’s no old agreement/terms.
