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.

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.
