Dillian Whyte flattens Dereck Chisora with dramatic late KO victory leaving opponent seeking medical attention

DILLIAN WHYTE pleaded for a rematch with Anthony Joshua  after  a savage knockout of  Dereck Chisora.

The heavyweight pair reran their epic 2016 slugfest — that Whyte won on points — and provided spoilt fans with another humdinger.

But Chisora was left flat on his back after being struck with a huge left in the 11th round.

There were concerns over Chisora as he lay unconscious on the canvas surrounded by his worried team.

However, after three minutes he was shakily back on his feet.

Whyte taunted Joshua after the fight, demanding another shot at his Brit rival.

He said: “I am getting better and better. No 1 baby, let’s go.”

But AJ responded: “We know how the list goes, No 1, No 2. But if they are not available then it’s Dillian.

“If there is anyone who deserved a shot then it’s you.”

Asked about the Chisora fight, Whyte admitted: “It was hard. After the first round I said, ‘Relax, relax — I have 12 rounds to go. I knew it would come.

“I hit him with the right hand a number of times and then, boom.”

True to his pre-fight words,  Chisora went to war from the very first bell, squatting down and thrashing hooks at the 30-year-old’s body.

Brixton ace Whyte boxed clever, working behind the jab and shaking Chisora up in the first round.

A straight right hand wobbled  Chisora in a neutral corner, so much so the Zimbabwe-born battler clung to the top ropes for support.

And Whyte could not resist a maniacal grin at the thought of hurting his old enemy with his first meaningful shot. Whyte dictated the second round with his rasping jab, pinging it at Chisora’s forehead and doubling up when the fancied it. Chisora responded the only way he knows.

He hurled bombs from too-obvious angles and got caught up in a wrestling match.

The pair of giants almost tumbled over the top of the ropes at the end of the round when their clinch threatened to spill out into the posh seats.

Chisora’s peekaboo style is hard on the eye but not as hard as the left hook he seemed to scramble Whyte’s skull with early in the third.

But Whyte took his licks and even stuck his tongue out to show he was not feeling pain from the 34-year-old’s piledrivers.

Chisora ended the round in the zone, ripping into Whyte’s ribs and switching up to the head, when the bell rang his trainer Don Charles jumped in to make sure the action ended.

Chisora did seem slow getting off his stall for the start of the seventh but he shook off any fatigue when he landed a right hand that riled Whyte into a volley of counter punches.

And Chisora threw himself off balance and into danger with a wild swing a miss that he was lucky was not punished.

Chisora was docked a point for a low blow and the desperate look on his face made it obvious he feared it could be a crucial penalty if the judges’ scorecards would decide it.

Both men looked exhausted in the ninth but still swung and scythed away at each other.

But Chisora threw the fight away at the start of the eleventh.

Whyte was draped over his back and he raised his elbow. The joint was nowhere near Whyte but the overzealous ref docked him for a second time.

But Whyte snatched the responsibility away from the judges with a sickening shock that knocked Chisora clean out.

And it was a huge relief to see the veteran rise to his feet after such a savage ending.
