Anthony Joshua confirmed a rematch against Dillian Whyte on 12 August in London.

British heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has officially confirmed an explosive rematch against rival Dillian Whyte at the spot where they first met as professionals in 2015.

The heavyweight showdown will take place in London's O2 Arena on 12th August.

The heavyweight's first meeting took place back in December 2015. The Olympic gold medalist won by knockout on the night, launching him into the world title picture after picking up British, Commonwealth, and International honors.

Joshua and Deontay Wilder, a former heavyweight champion, remain in talks for a fight in December in Saudi Arabia, but AJ will have to defeat Whyte first. And with such a big-money fight potentially waiting for Joshua, Whyte is a dangerous choice of opponent.

But Whyte will also target for a thrilling fight against Wilder if he emerges victorious next month.
