David Haye promised that Dereck Chisora has improved since his last fight with Dillian Whyte, warning the 2016 victor that he will have to up his game.

When the Dillian Whyte-Dereck Chisora rematch was announced two months ago, it was presumed that DAZN would stream that fight live in the United States because that streaming service is aligned with Eddie Hearn, Whyte’s promoter. BoxingScene.com has learned, however, that the Whyte-Chisora rematch will air live in the U.S. on Showtime on Saturday afternoon.
Dillian Whyte believes it is only "a matter of time" until he gets a rematch with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. The 30-year-old has been touted as a potential 2019 opponent for IBF, WBA, IBO and WBO belt-holder Joshua, though WBC champion Deontay Wilder is his priority for an April 13 fight at Wembley.
According to Sky Sports, Olympic gold medal winner Alexander Povetkin is interested in fighting Dillian Whyte or Derek Chisora in the UK in 2019. Povetkin, 39-years-old, saw action twice in 2019 - with both bouts taking place in the UK. He knocked out David Price in the fifth round in Cardiff, and then got a crack at IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua - who stopped the Russian challenger in the seventh round at Wembley Stadium in London.
WBO, WBA, IBF, IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is backing one of his idols, Dereck Chisora, to overcome Dillian Whyte in their scheduled rematch. The heavyweight rivals will collide for a second time on Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London.
