Dillian Whyte knocks out Dereck Chisora in the eleventh round to tee up Anthony Joshua rematch

We're not far from the main event now, so it's time for our predictions.

Adam Hamdani (social media editor): I'm going for a Dillian Whyte points win, I can't see either man being knocked out (but what do I know?) and I think his age/fitness/general ring craftsmanship should see him through.

Ben Burrows (sports news editor): Both fighters appear to have arrived in peak condition so this one could well go the distance. Whyte is the better fighter and despite one punch always being able to end it either way I see him taking it on points.

Declan Taylor (boxing reporter): I honestly expect a carbon copy of the first fight - no knockdowns, no stoppage - and Whyte to get another close decision after 12 rounds.

Tom Kershaw (sports reporter): Having had the experience over 12 rounds against Robert Helenius and Joseph Parker, as well as carrying less excess lard, Dillian Whyte will be able to sustain the output that never quite propelled beyond first gear two years ago. Chisora may in better shape himself, but this is prime vs past between two fighters who belong in a similar echelon. The younger man should outlast him, perhaps even bully him out of the ring before the final bell.

Jack de Menezes (deputy sports editor): Whyte is a far more polished and mature boxer now then when these two first met. If he can stay smart and out of Chisora’s range, he could well do enough damage to get the early stoppage. That said, Chisora looks in the shape of his life and may just price to be a new version of himself, leaving this rematch in a degree of uncertainty. I’d back Whyte to get the stoppage win, but don’t rule Chisora out.

Luke Brown (sports reporter): Warrington and Frampton will go the distance but I think the younger man will have enough in the tank to retain his world title. It's going to be razor-sharp, though. In London, Whyte will win comfortably, he's on a different level to Chisora these days. Will it be as fun as the first fight? Almost certainly not. What fight should you buy? I really don't care, people are getting far too snobby over the whole thing. Just make sure you click on both of our fight reports. And maybe on an advert or two. And why not refresh the page a few times? It's Christmas after all.

Seems fairly unanimous. 

Who's walking away as winner tonight?

Dillian Whyte has improved massively since the last two met, but Dereck Chisora is in far better shape than ever before in his career.

We are moments away from the ringwalks.

As Sweet Caroline rings out at the O2, the atmosphere increases and Michael Buffer takes his position.

Here. We. Go.

Dereck Chisora makes his way to the ring first, with a Great Britain bandana wrapped around his face and WAR etched on the front of his cap.

That's exactly what everyone is hoping this will be.

Nights at the O2.

Now it's time for Dillian Whyte to enter the arena.

He's doing his usual wolf howl and looks as calm as ever in his bright blue robe.

I'm excited for this one.

In Manchester, Josh Warrington and Carl Frampton are about to start their bout.

Open this link up as a new tab and follow both at the same time!

Dereck Chisora means WAR.

I don't think it's possible for these two men to want to knock each other out any more than they do.

The introductions are done, both receive a mix of boos and cheers.

Here. We. Go. Round by round updates to follow.

Round one: Chisora comes out the faster of the two men, but Whyte responds with some big rights and this is already a great fight! Every time he lands those, Chisora feels them.

Whyte looks composed and is taking his time to throw. Chisora looks like he wants to work the body but hasn't had too much success yet. 

First round Whyte.
