• Whyte betters his 12-round win over Chisora in 2016• He will now face Anthony Joshua at Wembley on 13 AprilIt was asking a lot of Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora to take up where they left off here two years ago, but they did exactly that. They likely will not want to do this again – unless the money is right.
