Dillian Whyte is mapping out a comeback to the ring and is convinced that a third showdown with Derek Chisora could be the perfect catalyst. Their rivalry, which has already produced two unforgettable heavyweight battles in 2016 and 2018, has become one of British boxing’s most heated feuds. Both fights ended in dramatic fashion, with the Brixton‑born Chisora emerging victorious on each occasion. After Chisora’s recent defeat to Deontay Wilder at the O2 Arena, the seasoned Brit seemed poised to hang up his gloves and retire.

Yet Whyte believes that the lure of a revenge‑filled trilogy could persuade the older fighter to step back into the squared circle. "He says he wants to fight me and he’s not going to retire," Whyte told Sky Sports News, underscoring the mutual desire for another clash.

Whyte emphasized how rare it is for boxers to secure a trilogy in their careers. "Not many fighters get three fights against the same opponent.

I’d love to do it again. A trilogy would be great because we’re both at a point in our careers where there isn’t a lot of moving around, a lot of traveling. We’ll just stand there and trade blows. He doesn’t like me, I don’t like him.

He doesn’t want to lose to me, I don’t want to lose to him," he explained. The first encounter between the two ended with Whyte edging a split‑decision win, while the second bout saw him stop Chisora in the eleventh round. Those results have only intensified the animosity and the fans’ appetite for a decisive third meeting.

Whyte, who suffered a stoppage loss to Moses Itauma last year, is eager to re‑establish his standing in the heavyweight division. "I’ve already given him a good night’s sleep. I gave him one of the best sleeps he’s ever had in his life.

So it would be good to get it on again. The fans want to see good fights," he said, highlighting the demand for a classic heavyweight slugfest. He added, "They want to see proper heavyweights having a proper slugfest and this will be another one.

So I’d love to get it on. If Derek’s serious he knows where I am. I’d fight Derek Chisora tomorrow if he wanted it." Whyte suggested that the fight could be scheduled for the summer months, aiming for a May or June showdown.

"I’d love to make this fight happen in the next couple of months. He says he’ll be ready.

I’ll be ready May, June time. If he wants it, I’ll be ready," he affirmed, indicating flexibility on timing and a willingness to travel if necessary. He also praised Chisora’s fighting spirit, noting, "He just comes to fight.

He doesn’t care… That’s why I love fighting him. He’s a credible opponent, and we’ll always have a great fight because we’ll just stand and trade." Beyond Chisora, Whyte has his sights set on other high‑profile opponents. He expressed interest in taking on former world champions Andy Ruiz and Deontay Wilder, as well as a rising Albanian contender named Nelson Hysa, who holds the No. 1 ranking in his country.

"I’d love to fight Andy Ruiz, Deontay Wilder, another guy called Nelson Hysa – he’s No 1 in Albania. I’d love to fight these kinds of guys for their ranking and because they’re top fighters," Whyte said, illustrating his ambition to climb back up the heavyweight ladder. The British heavyweight scene remains vibrant, with upcoming events such as the Chris Billam‑Smith versus Ryan Rozicki bout slated for Sky Sports on Saturday, June 6.

Fans can also follow the latest boxing schedule for 2026 to keep track of when the biggest fights will take place. In summary, Dillian Whyte is determined to reignite his career by challenging Derek Chisora once more. He believes a trilogy would not only settle a long‑standing rivalry but also provide the heavyweight fans with the hard‑hitting action they crave.

With both fighters reportedly ready and the summer window opening, a third Whyte‑Chisora clash could soon become a reality, adding another memorable chapter to British boxing history.
