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.

I think Chisora wins this by KO

I think Dillian will punch him to a standstill. The Takam win was brilliant and everyone was made up for the crazy bastard, but it flattered Del Boy no end. He was a sitting duck for the bulk of the fight and Whyte will whack harder than Takam.

I think the driving force for this pick (as it was first time around) is that Whyte deserves the win in my book, he deserves his shot, he earned it a long time ago.

I was gonna stick a score on Del Boy by KO but you've got me thinking now 🤔
#bastard 😂

When its time to Lyle/Foreman it again is Whyte the more fresh and hungry figher?

Just watched some build up vids on youtube and both of them are doing stuff in the Gym they've not done before... Chisoras pushing the boat out but Whytes matching him 100%.

Fuck it im sticking with the old warhorse by KO 8-10 😁

[Batman]

I had Del Boy winning the first but I think Whyte will get the win this time around.
As has been said Chisora was losing quite handily to Takam before a spectacular KO, Whyte is the younger fresher fighter and I think we'll see that he has improved quite a bit since their first fight.
