Chisora–Whyte Trilogy Targeted for Dec. 13 in Manchester as Itauma’s Return Pushed to 2026

Frank Warren says WBA mandates around Kubrat Pulev are keeping the 20-year-old sidelined.

Overview

  • The proposed third meeting between Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte is planned for December 13 at Manchester’s Co-op Live, with Warren noting the deal is not yet signed.
  • Moses Itauma has been removed from that date and is now expected to box next year, following his first-round stoppage of Whyte in August.
  • The WBA has ordered Pulev to defend his ‘Regular’ title against Itauma, with a 30-day negotiation window reportedly running to November 14 before a potential purse bid.
  • Pulev’s camp has indicated a voluntary defense versus Murat Gassiev on December 12 in Dubai, which Warren says the WBA has not sanctioned to his knowledge.
  • Chisora, 41, enters on a three-fight win streak and has lost both previous bouts to Whyte, while Whyte is coming off his August defeat to Itauma.
