dereck chisora And dillian white A trio of heavyweight fights are set to take place in December, after both fighters expressed a desire to meet once again after appearing joseph parker V fabio wardley,
The British veterans combined for two brutal fights in 2016 and 2018, with Whyte emerging victorious by split decision and 11th-round stoppage.
But Chisora, who is 41 and now 36-13, has rallied late in his career to go on a three-fight win streak after disposing of Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin.
And Whyte, now 31-4, is looking to bounce back after being taken out in round one by heavyweight phenom Moses Itauma earlier this year, making the pair ideal dance partners.
“Yeah! If the contract is right, yes, but right now it’s not,” Chisora said initially on DAZN’s broadcast of Parker vs. Wardley at The O2.
The pair were then interrupted by American Jerrell Miller, who joined the pair following a face-off between heavyweights Itauma, Agit Kabayel, David Adele and Lawrence Okolie.
Chisora said: “You’re looking for a fight, there are giants out there, you pick the one you want!”
And the fan favorite hinted at a proposed deal before the end of the year: “I want the fight, it’s going to be in December, 100 percent, it’s going to be an explosive fight.”
White urged caution, pointing out that the money would have to be right for the offer to be accepted.
“Yes, I want the fight, but the paperwork has to be right,” White said. “I take any fight, no matter what it is, I come out and give it my all.

“I don’t worry about any contracts, I love fighting, giving the fans the fights they want. When it’s done it’s done, time waits for no one.”
Promoter Frank Warren encouraged both men to accept a third fight, guaranteeing that it would be “explosive”.
The news follows claims from David Haye earlier this week, when the former world champion suggested the pair would meet in Manchester on December 13.
Haye told HighBet.co.uk: “Talking about the fights we always wanted, it’s Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte 3 for Derek’s last fight.
“I was talking to him last night. It’s confirmed. He’s talking. They agreed on gentlemen-like terms, everyone is happy with the split, and it’s going to be fun.
“I think it’s a 50/50 deal, 60 goes to the winner, 40 goes to the loser which makes a lot of sense.”
