According to Dillian Whyte, his British heavyweight rival Dereck Chisora has no-showed several face to face meetings to discuss 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.

A few days ago, Chisora fired several shots on social media by warning that he would easily "kick Whyte's ass." Whyte claims Chisora is nothing more than talk and has no intention of actually fighting in the ring.

Whyte (18-1, 14KOs) was last seen in the ring last month when he won a solid decision over David Allen and is back in action on October 7th as part of the Rick Burns undercard in Glasgow.

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.

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.

"If he wants to fight, he can have it. He's got to be realistic over the money, though," Whyte told Sky Sports. "Dereck is all hype. I've asked him to meet me a couple of times just to sit down and talk and see if he really wants to do what he's saying but he's never turned up once. He just wants to keep on talking.

"I've driven to his area and been at the end of his road at his favourite restaurant. I told him to come and meet me there so we can have a chat. He said he was coming but then he didn't show up. Last time he kicked off, I was in another restaurant around the corner and I asked him to come and see me but he's just all mouth. He's pure talk and nothing else.

"Dereck is being an idiot again trying to keep his name relevant. This is a business and Dereck is deluded - he still thinks he's a world-class operator. He thinks he's going to be world champion and he's not. He's just being silly and what he needs to do is instead of fighting in Stockholm on some card nobody cares about, he should fight in Glasgow on October 7 and we can start building the fight properly."
