Anthony Joshua MBE and Dillian Whyte are predicting a knockout night when they clash for the British and Commonwealth Heavyweight titles in Bad Intentions at The O2 in London on December 12, live on Sky Sports.

Both unbeaten men landed big KO wins at the weekend to secure the hotly-anticipated contest and set a date to settle a rivalry that stretches back to their early amateur days.

Whyte beat Joshua early in their amateur careers before Joshua went on to claim gold at the London 2012 Olympics, and with sparks flying in the build-up to Saturday’s action, the blue touch paper has already been lit for a huge night in December.

Promoter Eddie Hearn added: “It is a great fight, two undefeated fighters. This fight is going to excite a lot of people. It is two very, very talented Heavyweights stepping up for the British and Commonwealth and we could end the year with something very special here at The O2.
