Dillian Whyte responds to claims he ‘turned down’ Anthony Joshua fight


“They’re talking rubbish,” Whyte said, according to the Daily Mail.

“All I got, after Eddie talked publicly and often about making me an offer to fight AJ, was a very short email late in the evening on Friday 2 June.

“I absolutely 100 per cent want to fight AJ and called Eddie to discuss the offer but couldn’t get hold of him. I messaged him too. I didn’t hear back from him so I sent him an email to confirm I wanted the fight.

“I didn’t turn down the offer or propose a counter-offer. All I did was ask normal questions on his three-line email so-called offer.

“Even before I emailed, Eddie was already saying publicly that his offer was unacceptable. So, why make it in the first place?

“Let’s be very clear here, I told him I wanted the fight, I didn’t turn it down and I didn’t price myself out and in fact have not had a single discussion about it with Matchroom since the ‘offer’ and I didn’t make any demands.”

Agit Kabayel has already been linked with Joshua while Jarrell Miller, who was due to box ‘AJ’ in 2019, has also been linked.
