Chisora v Whyte part II is set to be a slugfest

The swirl around British heavyweight boxing is of historic moment. Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are perched atop a pack that includes Dereck Chisora, Dillian Whyte, Joe Joyce and Hughie Fury. 

Taken together, it constitutes an embarrassment of riches that in past times you would have associated with the heavyweight landscape in the US rather than UK. 

This weekend London’s O2 sees Chisora and Whyte go again two years after their first clash. They didn’t like each other then, and they don’t like each other now. Both are cut from the same “punch first ask questions later” cloth; and both carry a demeanour of menace suggestive of balaclavas and baseball bats at two o’clock in the morning.
