Anthony Joshua agreed to fight Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April if a unification showdown with Deontay Wilder falls through.
Whyte assured himself a rematch with his old rival by knocking out Derek Chisora, and called out AJ who was sitting ringside.
Joshua was stopped from entering the ring when Whyte took aim at him, but spoke to his old enemy over the ropes.
He said: Credit to Dillian, but you know how the list goes.
If its not Deontay Wilder and Whyte gets made, I dont want to hear boos.
Whyte fired back at Joshua, taking exception to AJ only saying he would fight him if he failed to come to terms with WBC champion Wilder.
I deserve my shot, Ive worked my way up, Whyte said.
Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn, who promotes both heavyweights, then had his say on the potential of a rematch between Joshua and Whyte in April.
Its a matter of when, not if, because I think Dillian Whyte is going to become the WBO mandatory, he said.
