Chisora and Whyte’s grudge match topped the undercard in Manchester when Anthony Joshua fought Eric Molina. The heavyweight bout was supposed to be for the British title but a press conference brawl saw the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) withdraw the belt from the fight. But it was still the best contest of the night as Whyte claimed a split decision after a 12-round slugfest.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has already hinted that a rematch could find its way onto the undercard of Joshua’s massive title fight against Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium in April. But now Chisora has warned that the fight will not get made if the former British champion does not lower his financial demands. "The latest is that boy is being a punk, he's running away," Chisora told Sky Sports.
