Dillian Whyte, Dereck Chisora Could Collide in December
By Edward Chaykovsky
British heavyweight rivals Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora could potentially collide on a date in December to finally settle their differences.
The two have exchanges a lot of verbal jabs through social media, but their tensions were raised back in May when Chisora crashed a press conference for Whyte's ring return.
Whyte put himself on the map when he gave current IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua his stiffest test last December. Whyte was able to rock Joshua in the second round and made it a real fight until he was knocked out in the seventh. He suffered a shoulder injury during the contest which required surgery.
Whyte (18-1, 14KOs) was last seen in the ring last month when he won a solid decision over David Allen.
In his last fight, Chisora (25-6, 17KOs) lost a twelve round split decision to Kubrat Pulev. He is scheduled to return against Drazan Janjanin in Stockholm on September 10.
Chisora's trainer, Don Charles, says a fight with Whyte - for December - would be welcomed with open arms.
Charles told Sky Sports: "Most definitely I'd take that in December, I'd take it right now. Basically, it is the fight that my fighter Dereck wants and it's the fight the British public wants. The build-up would be very entertaining. I have a lot of love for Dillian and told him to take the fight. If Dereck does meet him, he will beat him in a match-up."
Upon hearing the news of Chisora's willingness to take him on in December, Whyte took to the social networks to reveal his own interest in making that showdown happen.
