The Body-snatcher is ready to go to War

Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora will resume their heavyweight British rivalry in a rematch on December 22nd held at London’s O2 Arena. The London-based duo will clash in the capital just over two years since their last bout.

Derek Chisora also ensured his name remained in the heavyweight conversation with a stunning KO victory against the hard-headed Carlos Takam. https://twitter.com/MatchroomBoxing/status/1058070
