Anthony Joshua's team have inserted a one-way rematch clause in his favour in a late addition to the contractual terms which has complicated negotiations for a heavyweight fight with Dillian Whyte.

Whyte resumed negotiations last week after he had verbally challenged promoter Eddie Hearn over a breakdown in communication regarding what would be a hotly-anticipated rematch, which it is hoped will be staged at The O2 on August 12.

The Brixton man has indicated he would take the proposed bout against his British rival - and is open to a "winner-takes-all and moves on" fight.

"I've been up for fighting Joshua since the day I lost to him in 2015," Whyte previously told Sky Sports.

"The score is 1-1 so far. He's won one. I beat him in the amateurs, he beat me in the pros so I want to get even."

"I would love nothing more than to have a chance to avenge my defeat," he added.

"I'll just go to war. I want to go to war because I think that's a good way to fight him, pressure him, back him up and start getting him on the back foot as early as possible and I'm strong enough, I'm big enough to do that.

"I carry enough power obviously to back him up and to knock him out."
