‘You're a snake' – Derek Chisora's explosive row with Dillian Whyte after slamming drugs scandal and Moses Itauma fight
DEREK CHISORA says he had a blazing row with Dillian Whyte after repeatedly criticising his Great British rival. Chisora shared 23 epic rounds with Whyte, losing a controversial split-decision in 2016 before being knocked out by a left hook two years later. 5 Derek Chisora says he had a blazing row with Dillian Whyte over the phone 5 Whyte takes on Moses Itauma in Saudi Arabia Credit: Getty In the years since, the two have become the best of enemies, with their relationship blowing from hot and cold. But Whyte, 37, was left heated after Chisora, 41, questioned his decision to accept a bout with unbeaten 12-0 prospect Moses Itauma. And Chisora's stance on doping offenders needing an instant decade-long ban is also said to have fired up Whyte. Chisora made the claim on SunSport's latest No Glove Lost episode ahead of Whyte's fight against Itauma on Saturday - live on DAZN PPV.

You're not my friend, you're a snake, you're trying to take food out of my kids' mouth.' "But the reason why he's upset is because a couple of months ago I did talkSPORT and I said I think if you get caught cheating in boxing, you should get banned for life because. "Why should you have a disadvantage on someone else who's woken up every morning, trained hard, but you train less and you inject yourself by something to beat the other guy? "That's not fair, so that's my thing. I always talk to the Board that if we get someone cheating in the in in boxing they should get banned for like at least ten years." 5 MOSES ITAUMA VS DILLIAN WHYTE: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT WATCH ITAUMA VS WHYTE LIVE ON DAZN CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Whyte was banned for TWO YEARS in 2012 after testing positive for methylhexaneamine (MHA) - known to increase energy. The stimulant was contained in a pre-workout called Jack3D - which Whyte says he took without knowing it was prohibited. If he wins I will fight him Chisora | No Glove Lost: Itauma vs Whyte fight preview | Sun Sport In July 2019, Whyte then tested positive for an unknown banned substance before his victory over Oscar Rivas - with the bout allowed to go ahead. But five months later the case was dropped by United Kingdom Anti-Doping in another case of "isolated contamination". Whyte's third doping case came in 2023 when his big-money rematch with Anthony Joshua - following defeat in 2015 - was scrapped. Again, the Jamaican-Brit returned an adverse finding and put it down to contamination before he continued his career overseas without serving a ban. British light-heavyweight Anthony Yarde joined Chisora on the panel and agreed abusers of Performance Enhancing Drugs must be banned. Yarde was beaten in his 2019 WBO world title challenge to Sergey Kovalev - who tested positive for synthetic testosterone in a separate bout in 2021. He said: "This is nothing against Dillian but I in terms of people who have been caught or that cheat in boxing, I agree. You should be banned. "Even looking at my career, this might be a bit personal to me, but Kovalev when I went out to Russia, again I'm a young kid in boxing, I'm a kid. "I go out to Russia, heart of a lion, gave everything. Then he thought Canelo, he got knocked out and his return fight, he got banned for drugs. I rang him and he didn't answer and then he sent me a voice note saying, 'Why are you ringing me for? You're not my friend, you're a snake, you're trying to take food out of my kids' mouth.' Derek Chisora on Dillian Whyte "Like, how does that make me feel looking at that saying my life could be different? What if I won that fight? These are the kinds of things that go through your head that can break people. "That can make people think, 'I'm not good enough.' It can ruin someone's career. "And we're in the hurt business. Boxing's a dangerous sport. If you get found drugs in your system, as Derek said, lifetime ban." Chisora himself was offered the fight for Itauma - but he turned down the £2million deal to preserve his No1 ranking in the IBF. But if Whyte rolls back the clock and upsets the odds - Chisora is open for the trilogy bout to close out his 50th and final fight. He said: "If he wins this one, maybe one more. If he wins this one, I will fight him." Chisora is actually hoping and picking Whyte to win - with retirement allegedly on the cards if his old pal is beaten. He said: "Listen, I would love to see Dillian win it. Genuinely, because Dillian is from the old school. "There's a young buck who's coming in the neighbourhood who's just smoking everybody. I would like to see Dillian win it, it'd be amazing. "And remember Dillian apparently said, if he gets beat he'll retire after this one. That's the rumour. But I want Dillian to win it." 5 Chisora was knocked out by Whyte in 2018 Credit: Getty Images - Getty

But Whyte - who has a collection of various muscle dogs and puppies - embraces the underdog role. He said: "As you know, I'm a dog man. I'm a bit of a dog specialist, so anything to do with dogs I'm there all day every day, so yeah I enjoy it. "I've got about 15 dogs altogether and just had some puppies, so maybe more. I've got 22 dogs now so there you go.

Itauma has ten knockouts in his 12 wins - all coming within the first two rounds and debuted aged 18 as Britain's answer to a prime Mike Tyson. Finding opponents willing to risk their reputation against the 20-year-old has proven to be Itauma's biggest fight since turning professional. Even veteran hardman Derek Chisora turned down £2million to fight Itauma and questioned why Whyte did accept what most deem a suicide mission. 4 MOSES ITAUMA VS DILLIAN WHYTE: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT WATCH ITAUMA VS WHYTE LIVE ON DAZN CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS But daredevil Whyte, 37, hit back: "I don't get these guys. "They spend their whole career being a hard man, fighting anyone and saying they wanna fight everyone. Dillian Whyte's incredible rise from eating out of bins and selling Fanta to becoming boxing star "And what we love about them is the fact that Derek Chisora will fight anyone and he's up for fighting anyone and that's what we always love about him, he's brave and he's gallant. "And then all of a sudden he's become a coward and picking and choosing who he wants to fight. I don't understand that. "The mentality has always been the same, I've always taken any fight that's there and taking the most risky fights in my career. "So yeah, it's the same, nothing's changed." Whyte has been at the centre of some of the most classic heavyweight bouts in a British ring - twice beating Chisora. But his career has also been clouded with controversy. In 2012, he was banned for TWO YEARS after testing positive for methylhexaneamine (MHA) - known to to increase energy. The stimulant was contained in a pre-workout called Jack3D - which Whyte says he took without knowing it was banned. In July 2019, Whyte then tested positive for an unknown banned substance before his victory over Oscar Rivas - with the bout allowed to go ahead. But five months later the case was dropped by United Kingdom Anti-Doping in another case of "isolated contamination". Whyte's third doping case came in 2023 when his big-money rematch with Joshua - following defeat in 2015 - was scrapped. Again, the Jamaican-Brit returned an adverse finding and blamed it on contamination before he continued his career overseas. Whyte had two underwhelming comeback wins but still the contaminated supplement or banned substance has never been revealed. Probed on his most recent doping case, Whyte snapped: "Can we move on now? "It's a bit of a dumb question anyway but yeah, thank you for your time. Someone else please." Whyte beat Christan Hammer in Ireland and Ebenezer Tetteh in Gibraltar - but admitted to feeling defeated outside the ring. 'Someone is going to be on their backside' He said: "The last few years have been frustrating. "I had a handful of fights here and there, been out in the wilderness a little bit but as I get older, you realise that life is full of ups and downs." After a period of inactivity in the sport - Whyte is ready to get his career back on track - by first derailing Itauma's journey to the top. He said: 'They are saying he's the most dangerous guy from this era and the next era. So I guess that's win-win for me. I'll let the experts decide. 'These last few years have taught me that this is what I do, this is what I love doing and I need to take advantage of it, focus on it and appreciate it because it's here today, gone tomorrow. "You can be the man today and tomorrow you're nothing. If I go in there and blow Moses out in one round, what will people say? "Today, he's the next Mike Tyson, who is great, who is amazing, people are talking about him fighting Usyk. "But if I go in there, do my thing, catch him and blow him out then what? Does that mean he's not good anymore? No it just means it was a good fight and he got caught. 'There's going to be a fight on 16th of August. I'm going to come and do my thing. "Whether he's the A-side or I'm the A-side, B-side or C-side, someone is going to be on their backside and that's all that matters.'
