Dillian Whyte is mapping out a comeback to the squared circle and is convinced that a third showdown with Derek Chisora could be the perfect catalyst. The two British heavyweights have already forged a fiery rivalry, clashing in two explosive bouts in 2016 and 2018, each of which ended dramatically in favor of the Brixton‑born fighter. Chisora, who seemed poised to hang up his gloves after a recent defeat to Deontay Wilder at the O2 Arena, may be tempted back into the ring by the prospect of settling the score in a trilogy. Whyte told Sky Sports News that Chisora has hinted he still wants a fight and isn’t ready to retire.

"He says he wants to fight me and he's not going to retire," Whyte said. "Not many boxers get the chance to have a trilogy in their careers. I’d love to fight him again.

A trilogy would be great because we’re both at a stage where there isn’t a lot of moving around, a lot of running around. We’ll just stand there and trade. 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." The first meeting between the two ended with Whyte taking a split‑decision win, while the second bout saw him stop Chisora in the eleventh round. Those encounters have cemented both men as fan‑favorites for their willingness to engage in gritty, hard‑hitting exchanges. Whyte, who suffered a stoppage loss to Moses Itauma last year, is eager to get his career back on an upward trajectory. "I’ve already slept him once.

I gave him one of the best sleeps he’s had in his whole life. So it would be good to get it on.

The fans want to see good fights," he explained. He believes a third fight would deliver the kind of heavyweight slugfest that audiences crave.

"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." The British fighter is also hinting at a summer timeline for the bout. "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," Whyte added. He stresses that the appeal of the matchup lies in the raw, straightforward nature of the contest: "It’ll always be a great fight because we’re going to stand and trade.

I think he’s a credible opponent. He just comes to fight. He doesn’t care… That’s why I love fighting him." Beyond Chisora, Whyte’s ambitions extend to other notable heavyweights. He named former world champions Andy Ruiz and Deontay Wilder as potential opponents, as well as a rising Albanian contender named Nelson Hysa, who currently holds a top‑ranking spot 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 good ranking and they’re top guys," Whyte said, underscoring his desire to test himself against elite competition. The prospect of a Whyte‑Chisora trilogy has sparked conversation among pundits and fans alike.

Both fighters are now in the latter phases of their careers, which often means fewer opportunities for high‑profile match‑ups. A third encounter would not only settle lingering personal scores but also provide a marquee event for the British heavyweight scene, which has been craving a clear domestic rivalry after the era of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury began to dominate internationally. If the fight materialises, it could be positioned as a summer blockbuster, potentially airing on major UK broadcasters such as Sky Sports, which already covers heavyweight action regularly. The promotion could be marketed as a classic British heavyweight duel, emphasizing the raw, back‑and‑forth style that both men are known for.

Ticket sales would likely be strong, given the history and the narrative of redemption for Chisora and the quest for resurgence for Whyte. In addition to the immediate financial incentives, a successful trilogy could open doors for Whyte to negotiate larger‑scale bouts against the global heavyweights he mentioned.

A convincing win over Chisora would bolster his credibility and possibly place him back in the conversation for a world‑title eliminator or even a direct challenge to a champion. Conversely, a loss could push Chisora further into retirement, but it would still provide a fitting climax to one of Britain’s most intense rivalries.

Overall, the stage appears set for a compelling showdown. Both fighters have expressed a clear willingness to step into the ring, and the timing aligns with a period where heavyweight fans are eager for fresh, high‑octane match‑ups.

Whether the bout occurs in May, June, or later in the summer, the anticipation remains high, and the promise of another gritty, back‑and‑forth battle continues to fuel the buzz around Dillian Whyte’s planned return to the sport.
