Ex-heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs) offered another fellow veteran of the same status Derek “Del Boy” Chisora (29-3, 19 KOs) to fight for the third time, but not in the ring.
White had previously won on both occasions (a controversial split decision in 2016 and a knockout in the 11th round a couple of years later), but now it should also be interesting: the guys want to fight by the rules of MMA.
It all started with UFC champion Francis Ngannou being stripped of his title and left at a crossroads on what to do next. One option is to take the risk of going into the ring against WBC champion Tyson Fury and earning huge amounts of money.
Chisora in the circle of Arabs intrigued by the upcoming news
Against this background, Chisora stated in an Instagram stream that he was allegedly among the potential opponents of Ngannou: “I am trying to meet him. I want to do it in the UFC and boxing.”
When this was buzzing on social media, White went there and left a comment: “I will fight you in MMA, Del.” There is no reaction from Chisora yet.
How about such fun “grandfathers” in the octagon?
Derek, who resignedly flew into the third fight against Tyson in December, is in great demand: Briedis wants a fight with Chisora. He, meanwhile, funny compared the striking power of Fury and Usyk.
