“I Am Calm but Like I Said F*ck Around and Find Out”- Dillian Whyte Sends a Hostile Message to Anthony Joshua Ahead of Their Rematch

The  Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte matchup is already delivering on the trash-talking front. On August 12, the two heavyweight titans will meet again to throw down in the squared circle. Their first professional contest took place in December of 2015 and intriguingly, their rematch will take place in the O2 arena— the same arena as their first clash. However, the landscape of the rematch is not similar.

Neither of them is undefeated, unlike the first bout. Nonetheless, both competitors remain prevalent figures in British boxing and undoubtedly their bout would be a spectacle. And just to add fuel to the fire, the two combatants are no fans of each other and ahead of their bout took vicious verbal jabs against each other.

Dillian Whyte has a message for Anthony Joshua

The fight is crucial for both their career and future endeavors. That being said, they are confident in their abilities to be the victor and the same was evident during the press conference. The presser took place recently and Eddie Hearn was the moderator. During the pressor, Hearn asked Whyte if he has the same motivation and plans for a stoppage.

In response, Whyte had a threatening message for Joshua and made it clear that nothing significant has changed from their first clash eight years ago. He stated, “I am calm but like I said f*ck around and find out. The more you f*ck around the more chances you find out. That’s my mindset, nothing changes.”

Now, Whyte not only engaged in a war of words with Joshua but also with his own promoter.

“What does AJ’s b*lls taste like”- Dillian Whyte takes a dig at Eddie Hearn

During the press conference, Hearn and Whyte engaged in a verbal tussle. Whyte was upset with the fact that Hearn did not meet him in Florida and instead met AJ in Dallas, Texas. It bears a mention here that Hearn is Whyte’s promoter too. Hearn replied, “I did not think you would take the fight,” 

Whte then stated that Hearn was “B*llsh*ting” him and asked him to stop. After a couple more rounds of back-and-forth between Hearn, AJ, and Whyte, the ‘Body Snatcher’ stated, “What does AJ b*lls taste like.”

1However, Hearn was not backing off and clapped back at him by saying, “You would find out.” 

Not only is Whyte having a dig at his opponent but also his promoter. However, the same would garner attention from the general public and make the bout a bigger spectacle.
