That's my only pause for doubt — that Joshua was, if not intimidated by Whyte, very mindful of his threat last time. But Whyte's chin hasn't looked as tough since, and he's never lost the weight he needs to to reach his best, so I can't see him winning unless AJ turns up tubby, overlooking him for Wilder and Fury.

I've no problem with Whyte getting another shot, though.

Overconfidence is Joshua’s only threat here. He was too emotionally involved in the first fight, given the history you can understand it. He’s matured now and is a better fighter. He sticks to the gameplan and fights controlled, Whyte is getting a hiding.

Dillian Whyte has hit back at Eddie Hearn’s suggestion that a rematch with Anthony Joshua at Wembley in April is ‘close’ and believes AJ was never really interested in fighting him.

Surely even the casual mongs will run out of patience eventually though?

Eventually? Yes.
But the casuals are dumb enough to buy at least the next few.
