The British heavyweight is plotting his return to the ring after being out of action since his defeat to Moses Itauma last August and says he is keen on another bout against his veteran compatriot - whom he defeated in 2016 and 2018.

Whyte told Sky Sports News: "He says he wants to fight me and he's not going to retire.

"Not a lot of boxers get to have trilogies in their career. I'd love to fight him again. I think a trilogy would be great because we're both at a stage of our careers where there won't be a lot of running around, a lot of moving around.

"We're going to stand there and trade. He doesn't like me, I don't like him. He doesn't want to lose to me, I don't want to lose to him."

Whyte earned a memorable knockout win over Chisora in 2018 and says he is willing to renew their rivalry "tomorrow".

The fighter said: "I've already slept him once. I gave him one of the best sleeps he's had in his whole life. So it would be good to get it on. The fans want to see good fights.

"They want to see proper heavyweights having a proper slugfest and this will be another one. So I'd love to get it on. If Derek's serious he knows where I am. I'd fight Derek Chisora tomorrow."

Whyte suggested he is keen to make the fight this summer.

He said: "I'd love to make this fight happen in the next couple of months. He says he'll be ready. I'll be ready May, June time. If he wants it, I'll be ready.

"It'll always be a great fight because we're going to stand and trade. I think he's a credible opponent.

"He just comes to fight. He doesn't care… That's why I love fighting him."
