On Monday, the pair came face-to-face for their launch press conference, but Whyte was more interested in confronting promoter Hearn than Joshua.
Both fighters have recently changed trainers and are now based out in the USA, Whyte is in Florida with Buddy McGirt, while Joshua is training in Dallas, Texas, with Derrick James.
Hearn revealed he had been out in Dallas last week to visit Joshua in camp and Whyte questioned why he hadn't taken the time to go to Florida to see him.
"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.
The promoter then went on to explain that he was going to Mexico so it was easy to stop over in Dallas.
But, Whyte did not accept this excuse and said: "Can I ask you one question? What do AJ's balls taste like?"

Hearn clapped back: "You might find out on August 12," as the room erupted into laughter.
It was not all light-hearted, however, as Joshua and Whyte are both clearly up for this fight and acknowledged that it is a must win for the progression of their respective careers.
