Dillian Whyte vs Derek Chisora confirmed at London's O2 Arena

[p4pking]

Neither of those things would surprise me. The first fight was way too close to favour either guy by much, especially given their respective last fights. AJ fighting the winner has to be likely as well. The only two guys who might be seen as less routine defences for him are Ortiz and Miller imo. Both of those guys are with Hearn, both higher risk with much less reward. I’m sure AJ kind of has his hands tied in the whole thing.

Yea totally agree, and if Chisora beat Wyhte I feel he would deserve a shot.

[Fenster]

I'd much prefer to see AJ face Ortiz or Miller over these two, but it doesn't matter, whoever he faces in April will be a disappointment and he'll get slated to shit.

Actually Ortiz might appease the American haters but probably not the UK ones.

[Memphis]

They look like they're manoeuvring Miller into pole for the AJ fight. I know he's earned it but I think AJ has moved away from Whyte even more than they were initially, I don't want to see that again. If Del Boy comes up trumps he would have earned a go of course but no one really wants to see that. I'd also favour Miller or Ortiz. Preferably Miller. Ortiz is the better fighter for sure and the better scalp, but being 187 years old is the most interesting thing about Ortiz. Miller at least is a right gobby massive fucker, stick on a bit of glitter with the unbeaten record and he fits the bill.

[Alpha]

Yea Miller ticks a lot of boxes as an opponent for AJ. I heard he was fighting in Jan, so it could line up nicely for Apr.

Also, some of these other guys against each other would be nice.

Anthony Joshua believes Dereck Chisora will ‘whoop’ arch-enemy Dillian Whyte in rematch at the 02 Arena

The unified heavyweight champion of the world has backed the 34-year-old to claim his revenge after losing the first fight in controversial circumstances

Anthony Joshua believes Dereck Chisora will ‘whoop’ Dillian Whyte in their highly-anticipated rematch on Saturday night.

Two years after the British brawlers slugged it out at the Manchester Arena – with Whyte winning a thrilling fight on a split decision – they will put it all on the line once again at the 02 Arena.

Since then, Whyte has put himself into world title contention with victories over Robert Helenius and Lucas Browne and repeatedly stated his desire to face WBC champion Deontay Wilder.

For Chisora however, Saturday night presents another opportunity for the fighter formerly known as ‘Del Boy’ to upset the odds after he produced a fantastic display against Carlos Takam in the summer.

With former foe David Haye also in his corner, Chisora has been backed to pull off another upset by none-other than heavyweight champ Joshua.

“I think Derek is going to whoop Dillian. I want him to,” Joshua told Sky Sports.



“I want Chisora to win. I don’t want too much good for Dillian because he’s an enemy of mine.

“But I want Dillian to win as well, so we can have our rematch.”

Rematches in boxing tend to replicate the spectacle and entertainment of the first fight – often finishing more conclusively in favour of the first winner.

However, Joshua is adamant Saturday night will be an early Christmas cracker for fight fans.


“I think they will be a little more cautious – they know what [each other] can do. They gave a lot and it took a lot of out them last time.

“They learned from the first one. They put a lot on the line. In this second one, they will refine their skills. It will be a lot more technical.

“When it sparks, it will really kick off.
