Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte came head to head today in London at a press conference six weeks out from their grudge match at the city's O2 Arena on December 12.
Olympic gold medallist Joshua and Whyte have something of a score to settle from a rivalry that started in the amateur days when Whyte defeated Joshua. The dislike for one another reared it's head years later when comments from Joshua in the magazine Boxing News angered Whyte, who used social media to respond to his foe and thus pave the way for this showdown to be signed and sealed.
"He knocked me down, I got back up and beat me on a points decision," the unbeaten Joshua (14-0, 14 KOs) told Sky Sports News about that now infamous amateur bout. "I'm on a new path. I'm dealing with a new Dillian Whyte and he's dealing with a new Anthony Joshua. You have to leave what happened in the amateurs back in the amateurs. It's been a long time coming (the fight) but it's here now."
Whyte, who donned an eye-catching purple suit for todays 'Bad Intentions' press conference told the large media turnout: "I'm not one of the old men he has fought so far - I'm young and hungry.
