People want a Dillian Whyte-Dereck Chisora rematch after fantastic bout

We surely won't have to wait too long for Dereck Chisora and Dillian Whyte to meet again after Whyte's split-decision victory in Manchester.

After a heated pre-fight press conference - with a notorious table-throwing incident - some had feared the fight might not go ahead. But go ahead it did, and once the pair entered the ring it was all business. Whyte and Chisora were matched brilliantly, in what some have called the best heavyweight fight they've seen in years, if not ever. https://twitter.com/ozzylfc24/status/807887655761481728 https://twitter.com/MohsinZamir2/status/807890847652073472 https://twitter.com/Tim_Rowson/status/807871512007086081 https://twitter.com/AlbertBassett_/status/807779328213843968 https://twitter.com/clonmacart/status/807735382146158592 Whyte was awarded the victory by split decision after 12 hard-fought rounds, meaning his December 2015 loss to Anthony Joshua remains the only setback of his professional career. But some weren't convinced that the Jamaican-born Brit had done quite enough to get the better of 'Del Boy'. https://twitter.com/Brad_Pinard/status/807735027727470592 https://twitter.com/LedleyKing/status/807735128059498496 So, will we get to see the pair face off again? We get the sense it won't quite be as entertaining as this, but then how could it be? https://twitter.com/jayjaffa/status/807734460863102979 https://twitter.com/riathalsam/status/807734013574152192 https://twitter.com/SmithySoccerAM/status/807737688484937732 https://twitter.com/Marc_jones2/status/807736396031152128 https://twitter.com/cjsolly/status/807736152803393536 Whyte's victory saw him walk away with the WBC international heavyweight belt and left Chisora with two defeats from his last three outings. His next opponent remains up in the air, but if a rematch isn't on the horizon then Luis Ortiz could be next up. The Cuban remained unbeaten with a seventh-round stoppage of British fighter David Allen on the same Manchester card, extending his career record to 27-0 with 23 knockouts and two no-contests.
