Dillian Whyte has called for a third fight with Derek Chisora.

Whyte and Chisora ​​had two crazy battles, with “The Body Snatcher” winning both fights, the last of which took place in 2018.

The 38-year-old has not fought since a first-round loss to Moses Itauma, but is looking forward to meeting Chisora ​​again, who is coming off a loss to Deontay Wilder earlier this month.

At the end of last year, both teams were linked with each other, but they failed to reach an agreement.

“He says he wants to fight me and he’s not going to retire,” he said Sky Sports News.

“Not many boxers have trilogies in their career.

“I would love to fight him again.

“I think a trilogy would be great because we’re both at a stage in our careers where there won’t be a lot of running, a lot of moving around.

“We will 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.

“I would like to wear this.

“If Derek is earnest, he knows where I am. I will fight Derek Chisora ​​tomorrow.”

Chisora ​​fought until his 50th fight and, he claimed, it was the last time in his professional career against Wilder.

The 42-year-old fell twice after losing a split decision at the O2 Arena and has not fully confirmed his retirement since.

Had Whyte not secured a fight against his British rival, he claims he would have been open to fighting either Wilder or Andy Ruiz Jr.

“I would like to fight Andy Ruiz, Deontay Wilder and another guy called Nelson Hysa, he is number 1 in Albania,” he added.

“I would like to fight such fighters because of their good position in the rankings, and they are top fighters.”

On Saturday in Manchester, Tommy Fury will face former strongest man in the world, Eddie Hall.

Fury will meet Hall at the AO Arena live on DAZN pay-per-view and DAZN Ultimate.

Fury’s boxing career has stalled since two money-making bouts with YouTube sensations: Jake Paul and KSI.

The 27-year-old half-brother of former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury defeated both fighters by decision in 2023 and has fought just once since then after being sidelined with a hand injury.

The Manchester player withdrew from the scheduled fight with Darren Till, and then returned to Hungary in May last year after winning on points over Kenan Hanjalic.

Hall, who won the World’s Strongest Man competition in 2017, has only had one previous boxing fight, losing to rival strongman Thor Björnsson at another exhibition in 2022.

Luke Nevin will likely overtake Karim Khallas at lightweight heavyweight, while Jack Kay, better known as the final Ibiza boss, could do the same against Jordan McCann, also at 175 pounds.

Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez believes a long-awaited clash with Naoya Inoue is “inevitable” ahead of his return on Saturday.

Bam Rodriguez is closing in on one weight class for undisputed super bantamweight champion Inoue when he fights Antonio Vargas for the WBA bantamweight world title on Saturday in Arizona live on DAZN.

A meeting between the pair would pit two true pound-for-pound superstars against each other, and the Texan believes the clash will definitely happen, with Ring magazine owner Turki Alalshikh already expressing interest in promoting the fight.

“I know that when this Inoue fight happens, the fans will be in for a great night of boxing,” the 26-year-old said Ring Magazine.

“People are already talking so much about this fight that it is inevitable at this point.

“And I feel like when the time comes, it will be a great fight, probably one of the best in boxing history.”

Inoue retained his undisputed crown thanks to A unanimous decision victory over Japanese rival Junto Nakatani last month.

Bam is the current unified super flyweight world champion and is expected to return to 115 pounds to challenge Andrew Moloney for the undisputed title.

The Texan admits he would like to join forces with WBC bantamweight champion Takuma Inoue, Inoue’s younger brother, if he defeats Vargas at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale.

“I think that’s the perfect storyline for this fight,” he said.

“I think it’s almost the perfect storyline for Inoue’s fight, where he first beats his brother and then fights the other brother.”

Bam, who is the overwhelming favorite among bookmakers, is fighting for the first time since the unification of the super flyweight division following a 10th-round knockout of Fernando Martinez in November in Riyad.

Vargas first defended his WBA belt last July, but lost to Daigo Higa.
