Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte has given words of encouragement to his former foe and rival Anthony Joshua.
Joshua is days away from the biggest fight of his pro career.
Back in June, Joshua was dropped four times and stopped in seven rounds by huge underdog Andy Ruiz. The rematch takes place on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia.
Whyte will also see action on the undercard in Saudi, when he faces the Polish Giant Mariusz Wach.
Whyte defeated Joshua in the amateurs and they had a hearted rivalry in the pros - which eventually led to their year-end showdown in 2015.
Joshua was rocked early, but came roaring back to stop Whyte in the seventh round.
They were in talks for a rematch earlier this year, but it was claimed by Joshua's handlers that Whyte priced himself out - which led to Joshua taking the show on the road to New York City and eventually facing Ruiz.
Whyte and Joshua saw each other, and spoke, during the open workouts on Tuesday,
"I just said good luck, keep your head together. Don't worry about what people are saying. Go and win the belts and let's dust-up again in England and have a major fight. We're one apiece, let's dust-up again, and the winner of that can dust-up again," Whyte said to Sky Sports. "He said, yeah you're right bro, thanks for the support and whatever, and he just cracked on, and said good luck.
"We've got mutual respect for each other," said Whyte, when asked if he would discuss a deal with Joshua face to face. I want to see him succeed and he definitely wants to see me succeed as well, definitely. We're both young guys doing well, who have come from nothing.
"We'll dust-up time and time again. If me and him fight 100 times, it's going to be a dust-up. If Joshua loses his next 10 fights, I'll still fight him, because he's just one of those guys I like to fight. We enjoy fighting each other."
