Dereck Chisora has welcomed Dillian Whyte's offer of a fight and is willing to face his heavyweight rival at 'any time.' Whyte expects to return to the ring in the spring after undergoing shoulder surgery and told Sky Sports News HQ that he wants a domestic battle with Chisora.

'Del Boy' stayed active with a stoppage win over Andras Csomor last weekend and is thought to be working towards a European title clash with Robert Helenius, who holds a controversial win over the Londoner. But Chisora instantly responded to Whyte on social media, tweeting a video message in which he suggests that their fight can be staged this year.

He said: "Mr Dillian Whyte, I'm all here Bro. Whenever you're ready, you let me know.

"I don't need to do no trash-talking. I want to fight. You let me know when you're ready. We do it, anytime."

Whyte had raised doubts about whether the former British champion would accept his challenge and reiterated his desire to share the ring with Chisora once he fully recovers.

He tweeted "Don't worry I be back in the ring mid May early June let's do this no trash talk."

The pair exchanged further tweets, with Whyte replying: "no problems I will see you soon honey."
