Daniel Dubois vs Derek Chisora: Dillian Whyte Shares Brutally Honest Thoughts

Whyte Shares Opinion on Dubois vs Chisora

Dubois is the current IBF world heavyweight champion and has made it clear he would prefer a rematch with Usyk (undisputed), which would supersede the mandatory defence against Chisora.

The IBF recently spoke to Sky Sports to clarify their mandatory: “Derek Chisora is the mandatory challenger for Daniel Dubois but the mandatory bout is due to be ordered on April 22. There is not enough time for an eliminator since Dubois’ mandatory is due on June 21.”

Speaking to Seconds Out, heavyweight fighter Dillian Whyte has given his brutal opinion on that potential fight:

“Dubois will kill Derek. He might actually die. Seriously. There are bigger and better fights for Dubois to take right now,”said Whyte. 

“It’s just business. Derek Chisora is at the bottom of that list. There are bigger and better guys at the top of the list,”added Whyte.

Legacy of Derek Chisora

Whether Chisora retires after fight number 50 remains to be seen, but “Del Boy” looks set to gain a world title shot for his 50th fight. His mandatory position with the IBF has been ridiculed by some. “War” has enjoyed a memorable career, with eye-catching KOs in the ring to flipping tables at pre-fight press conferences. Chisora is loved by many and win, lose or draw in fight 50, his legacy as one of the toughest heavyweights will live on.
