Dillian Whyte Agrees for the Epic Rematch with Joshua
Dillian Whyte has officially signed the contract for the highly-anticipated epic rematch with Joshua, scheduled for August 12. This development, as reported by Sky Sports, signifies a solution to the hurdles that the rematch had previously encountered. Whyte's agreement was contingent on the removal of the initial rematch clause, which had posed a significant obstacle to reaching a satisfactory agreement. With less than six weeks remaining until August 12, the focus now shifts to whether Joshua will follow suit and confirm his participation in the rematch. Considering Eddie Hearn's earlier declaration that this is the fight Joshua desires, particularly prior to the December/January blockbuster with Deontay Wilder, it appears likely that Joshua will sign the contract. Whyte, however, firmly believes that he will defeat Joshua and position himself for a major showdown with Wilder. The Saudi financiers, who seem intent on a Joshua-Wilder clash, may resist the idea of Joshua engaging in another fight before December/January. Although Whyte has experienced recent setbacks, including brutal knockouts against Alexander Povetkin and Tyson Fury, critics argue that Joshua, mainly from a mental and self-belief perspective, is also not at his best. If the fight does materialize and Whyte begins aggressively, throwing powerful punches, anything can happen. While some fans may express disinterest towards this rematch, based on comments found on various platforms, it has the potential to deliver thrilling action on August 12. This encounter features two prominent heavyweight fighters who share a history, having crossed paths even as amateurs and harboring a mutual hate for each other. Both possess formidable punching power, making the fight an entertaining prospect. From the perspective of serving as a tune-up for a showdown with Wilder, this rematch is deemed acceptable. Whyte is confident in his ability to knock Joshua out, while Joshua remains convinced that he will secure another victory. The outcome of this epic rematch with Joshua on August 12 remains to be seen.
