'If he wants to fight again, we'll do it'

Anthony Joshua has refused to call an end to his heated rivalry with former opponent Dillian Whyte, and opened the door to a rematch.
The Olympic gold medal winner knocked out Whyte in December having been forced to battle through his most arduous professional contest so far, surviving a second-round scare in the process.
The result avenged an amateur defeat to Whyte which sparked a personal grudge that dominated the build-up to December's showdown. Joshua confirmed they haven't met since his KO win - but now the dust has settled, he still has no intention of rebuilding their fractured relationship.
Who's going to break the ice? Would I go over to him, say hello, and shake his hand? No way.
"The only place we would be likely to see each other is at a boxing show," Joshua told Sky Sports. "What will it be like? I can't really answer that at the moment. But we won't say much to each other.
"Who's going to break the ice? Would I go over to him, say hello, and shake his hand? No way.
"It's rock and roll. If he wants another fight, we'll do it again, no problem. It's rock and roll. Me and Dillian, round two."
British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Joshua will next challenge IBF title-holder Charles Martin on April 9, live on Sky Sports Box Office, in his first world championship fight.
