Golovkin’s last opponent, Dillian Whyte, the former challenger for the heavyweight title, will get back into the ring on December 15 to fight the Ghanaian fighter Ebenezer Tetteh. However, Whyte already has his sights set on a much larger target. A contender of the division, in a trilogy fight against long-time foe Derek Chisora.
Chisora was lucky to get a match against Whyte in his first fight, and then Whyte knocked Chisora out in the final rounds of their rematch. Both fights were attempt and counter battles that entertained the fans and Whyte felt a third contest would be ideal as the finish to their rivalry. Let’s dive into the story to understand the reality of these icons.
Chisora’s Future Plans and Jarrell Miller Clash
However, the plan of action doesn’t seem to be the same for Derek Chisora. It is said that the 40-year-old veteran is eyeing a fight with Jarrell Miller. With only four fights left in his 48-fight career, Chisora has said he wants to add two more wins before hanging up his gloves to get to 50 fights. The preliminary fight against Miller has raised eyebrows with fans asking whether it would be as appealing as the second fight with Dillian Whyte.
This is the kind of performance that resurrected Chisora’s career, and in his last fight, he pulled out a win against Joe Joyce. This win has made him a contender in the division. Things are trending toward a second fight with Dillian Whyte, a shot against Miller, or both, or maybe retirement is the plan.
In Dillian Whyte’s case, the short-term motivation is simply the next fight scheduled against Ebenezer Tetteh. The Londoner is 36 and to secure his place at the the top team, he will have to perform well. An early and undebated knockout sends a message and, who knows, might bring about a demand for a third fight with Chisora.
A Fitting End For Two Warriors
Dillian Whyte and Chisora are both approaching the end of their primes hence the prospect of the third fight makes the rivalry even more interesting. A trilogy fight would not only put the scores to their rivalry but also allow both men to retire gracefully. The fans would flock in numbers to witness such a clash, which the UK would perfectly set as two legends who have given their fans thrills and spills in endless memorable encounters.
Regardless of the fights pending, Derek Chisora against Jarrell Miller, and Dillian Whyte against Derek Chisora, or a combination of the two. The final acts of these warriors are a testament to their enduring tenacity, and the commitment to the sport that has been served by them for many years.
Conclusion
The proposed three fight series between Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora goes beyond mere entertainment and betrays the fighters’ ambition. Being both of age and virtually in the final years of their career, a third fight would prove to be yet another climactic battle wherein the rivals could finally face off. While Dillian Whyte needs to confirm his readiness for the fight with Tetteh, the final calls are made to Chisora, who is tactfully choosing the last fights for himself.
One must remember that regardless of Dillian Whyte or Miller, or perhaps both, Chisora can win the fight. Thus, the remaining fight offers viewers. Enthusiasts of cinematographic traditions and fans of boxing will get to witness a classic climax of two exciting careers in boxing.
