Dillian Whyte has accused promoter Eddie Hearn of showing favouritism towards Anthony Joshua, with the two sharing hilarious barbs at their press conference on Monday.
Joshua and Whyte will meet in the ring for a rematch at the O2 Arena on August 12 – eight years on from their first fight, which Joshua won via knockout.
The pair came face-to-face again on Monday for the launch press event for next month’s fight but it was Hearn that Whyte called out initially instead of AJ, as the promoter sat in between the two heavyweights.
Both Joshua and Whyte have been out in the United States, where their respective camps are based after both changing trainers.
While Joshua is in Dallas, Texas under Derrick James’ stewardship, the Body Snatcher is out in Florida with Buddy McGirt.

However, Whyte’s bone of contention came when Hearn revealed he had been out to see AJ in the Lone Star State but hadn’t paid him a visit on the east coast in Florida.
‘You be bulls****ing, you went all the way to Dallas to see AJ and you didn’t come to Florida to see me,’ Whyte said.
‘You be bulls****ing, you’ve got to stop that, seriously.’
‘I didn’t think you would take the fight,’ Hearn responded.
Hearn tried to explain his reason for visiting Dallas with it being a stop-over before heading on his way to Mexico. However, Whyte refused to accept Hearn’s reasoning before asking: ‘Can I ask you one question? What do AJ’s balls taste like?’

The quip saw the press conference, including Hearn and AJ, erupt into laughter, before Hearn responded with a quick-witted reply on his own.
‘You might find out on August 12.’
While both fighters were able to enjoy the light-hearted moment,
