• Negotiations between Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte have been revived 
• Whyte is expected to recieve a contract for the rematch in August imminently 
• Whyte is willing to accept Eddie Hearn’s initial proposal and wants the fight 

Talks between Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua’s representatives have been revived after the ‘Bodysnatcher’ indicated he is willing to accept Eddie Hearn’s initial proposal.

According to Sky Sports, Whyte is expected to receive a contract for the rematch with AJ imminently.

Hearn previously affirmed that Whyte had ‘priced himself out of the fight’ on August 12.

But Whyte has since come out and stated that he never made a counter offer as was suggested. 

He claims that he simply queried an offer made over email by Hearn but received no response after attempting to call and message him back.

Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte is back on for August 12 with contracts being made up now

Whyte is willing to accept Eddie Hearn’s initial proposal and is desperate to run it back with AJ

Joshua stopped Whyte in the seventh round of their inaugural encounter back in 2015 

Speaking to talkSPORT about the debacle, he said: ‘The fight’s just collapsed, there’s been no communication on the fight.

‘It’s just weird, it just never seemed real from the start. AJ’s in a position of transition and they don’t want him to have serious fight, but they’re trying to keep his name good and make it look like he’s trying to have big fights…

‘We’ve had one three-line email about the fight, no conversations at all.

‘We’ve been trying to contact Eddie Hearn for one month, multiple phone calls and emails, they’ve just gone missing.’

When asked if he would accept the original terms Hearn had offered, he said: ‘100 per cent, of course I would, I wanna fight AJ and beat him.’

After the Whyte fight, Joshua is expected to square off against Deontay Wilder over in Saudi Arabia at the back end of the year.

Hearn has recently come out and confirmed that they are close to completing the Wilder deal and are set hold meetings in London next week to finalise the contracts.
