Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Dillian Whyte has officially been confirmed.
The two British heavyweights to now go toe-to-toe on August 12 at the O2 Arena in London after an agreement was reached last Sunday.
The fight will cost viewers £26.99 – seven pound more than Joshua’s last fight against Jermaine Fran.
Joshua and Whyte faced one another as amateurs in 2009, with a 20-year-old Whyte beating Joshua by unanimous decision, three years before AJ claimed Olympic gold in London.
The two-time heavyweight champion had his revenge in 2015 as he handed him the first professional loss of his career and claimed the British heavyweight title after a Round 7 knockout.
After Whyte’s fight, Joshua is expected to square off against Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia at the back end of the year.
