Whyte

"I'm in this game to give fans proper fights. Dereck is a real life donkey, you've been in boxing over 20 years, why would you give David Haye easy 25 per cent of your money and get a worse deal? Maybe he might give him emotional support. I can fight and I show up to fight.

"Every fight with Matchroom is a risk! There's fights I wanted I didn't get and I get hard fights."

Chisora

What's the risk? Brown? That's not a risk, I knocked him out in sparring. 

Whyte

That has no relevance.

Chisora

My nephew can beat Joseph Park

I don't matter what's happened behind the scenes, I'm going to destroy you

You get ready with your boys and I'll get ready

Whyte

What boys!? At the time I took you on, you was a veteran, the referee had to help you off the floor

Chisora

I slipped.

Whyte

After I put you down, I'll take you out for a meal

[1 November 2018 14:03 · Jack Watson]

Whyte

You're a strange guy, I feel sorry for your family

Chisora

That's where you go wrong, why bring family into it. Don't bring family into it. I don't think there's enough men around to hold me back if you start talking crap

Whyte

You don't scare me. You threw a table at me and I didn't move. I have a bit of respect for you, but I don't fear you. I love animals. 

[1 November 2018 14:04 · Jack Watson]

Whyte

Dereck's going to look like road kill after the fight.

[1 November 2018 14:06 · Jack Watson]

Haye

This guy has an untapped reserve of magic nobody has seen before *Whyte laughs 'he's a great salesman, he sold a fight and complained about his toe, I'm so glad you're repping for me.'*

[1 November 2018 14:08 · Jack Watson]

Mark Tibbs (Whyte trainer)

I'm glad Dereck has a compassionate man in his corner.

Don Charles (Chisora trainer)

Mark, one thing about me, I'm very old school, what you just said will come back and bite you on the backside. Your coach is not very intelligent. Conduct my dear friend, conduct. 

[1 November 2018 14:08 · Jack Watson]

Face off time!

All smiles from Whyte, and all business from Chisora. 

The pair face off and there's no antics. A few muted words, but nothing drastic. 

A handshake and that's that.
