Dillian Whyte: record, next fight and profile →
Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte believes his former rival, Derek Chisora, is more than capable of shocking Oleksandr Usyk. Promoter Eddie Hearn, who works with both boxers, is looking to match Chisora and Usyk on March 28th. Usyk unified the entire cruiserweight division back in 2018, and won the World Boxing Super Series tournament, and made a decision to move up to heavyweight in 2019.
Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte is hoping that former world champion Andy Ruiz accepts an offer for a potential fight in the coming months - but he doubts the contest will come off. Whyte was in action last month in Saudi Arabia, when he secured a tough decision win over veteran Mariusz Wach. Ruiz appeared in the main event and lost his WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO belts when he was outboxed over twelve rounds at the hands of Anthony Joshua.
