      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA could take a risky rematch with Dillian Whyte to help set him up for a super-fight against Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder. Promoter Eddie Hearn had planned for AJ to rematch Whyte – who he stopped in 2015 – in a stadium this summer.

      But that was before he revealed representatives in Saudi Arabia want Joshua to face either Wilder or Fury in the desert in December.
      Hearn is set for talks in the Middle East this week and hopes to lock down a date and opponent for AJ’s proposed end of year blockbuster.
      He told iFL TV: “AJ-Whyte is still for me, it’s a risky fight, but it’s a great fight.
      “That’s up to AJ [if he wants to pass on fighting in the summer]…

      “When someone says, ‘You’re not allowed to have a fight,’ it doesn’t mean you accept that. So we have to see how those discussions look. 
      “The key for us is to lock in the mega-fight for Anthony Joshua, so everything will step off that.
      “I’m not ruling out a July fight at all, but we’ll see how those discussions go.” 
      Boxing bosses in Saudi have confirmed they want to pit the heavyweight division’s elite against each other in 2023.

      It could see Tyson Fury, 34, unify all four belts for the first time in heavyweight history against Oleksandr Usyk, 36, following failed talks.
      And it would leave Joshua, 33, to face Wilder, 37, in a fight years in the making.
      AJ himself recently admitted talks to finally meet his American rival are closer than ever.
      He told The Metro: “In terms of it getting delivered [from my side], I honestly believe it is 95 per cent there.”
      And Wilder watched Gervonta Davis, 28, beat Ryan Garcia, 24, in Las Vegas where also talked up the potential of fighting Joshua.
      He said: “We got a lot of different options right now at this moment in time. Joshua, everybody.
      “I think a lot of people is going to get that dream fight everyone wants to see.”

      Despite losing his 100 per cent record with February’s defeat to Tommy Fury, the 26-year-old is pulling on the gloves again to battle Nate Diaz on August 5.
      However, The Problem Child and Notorious have fired verbal jabs at each other for numerous years.
      And after McGregor claimed Diaz would “slap the head off” Paul, the American has hit back at the Irishman.
      Calling him out on his social media platforms, Paul said: “I’m a better boxer than you Conor and will do what you couldn’t and knock Nate out.

      “After Nate let’s box as the co main event same night as Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano in Dublin. 
      “But since you’re not your own boss you will hide behind Dana [White] or just drink the rest of your life away. August 5th you will see.”
      Serrano then backed the potential fight between the two stars, tweeting: “This has to be at Croke Park @MostVpromotions and @EddieHearn. Let’s Get It!”
      Paul’s promotion company also added on social media: “Katie Taylor is the greatest Irish athlete of all time. Amanda Serrano is the greatest Puerto Rican boxer of all time. The rematch in Ireland is massive.

      That was after Garcia, 24, had a tense face-off with his rival and became embroiled in a shoving match.
      Golden Boy Promotions executive and boxing legend Hopkins, who promotes Garcia, stood on the periphery of that melee and then appeared to rub his hand across Davis’s back at one point.
      And the Baltimore native and his camp have now revealed they were infuriated by it.
      The 28-year-old wrote in a now deleted tweet: “I should’ve slapped the s*** outta B-Hop as soon as he touched me.”

      Davis’ trainer Calvin Ford then promoted a theory on social media that he believed Hopkins was rubbing testosterone cream on his star’s back in order to taint a drug test.
      A text message shared by Ford on instagram read: “Coach beware of B hop and testosterone cream.
      “[It] will make you test dirty. Be careful.”
      Ford then added his own caption: “See this is why Bernard touch him.”
      Most read in Sport
      Golden Boy have been contacted by Sun Sport for comment on the allegations.
      Continuing his rant about Hopkins on Friday, Davis said: “[Hopkins is] talking about he about that life, man, nobody’s worried about his old ass, he needs to sit back and let the youngins do it.”
      Meanwhile, DAZN were forced to apologise after huge issues with the Davis and Garcia fight.
      Hundreds of TV viewers flocked to social media to complain about purchasing the PPV clash.
      Fans had paid $84.99 all together to watch the huge bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
      But boxing supporters suffered delays to their streams and accessing the broadcast.
      That forced DAZN to take to Twitter – but fans were left fuming with issues even after the first bell. More
