Your support makes all the difference.Dillian Whyte has moved into contention for a rematch with Anthony Joshua after winning his grudge match with Dereck Chisora by devastatingly stopping his rival in the 11th round.
Two years after narrowly outpointing his opponent, Whyte demonstrated his improvement and furthered Chisora's decline by leaving him unconscious for a worryingly long time at London's 02 Arena.
He was expected to be confirmed as the next challenger to Joshua at Wembley on April 13, but potentially faces an anxious wait while the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion considers instead fighting in the US for the first time.
Whyte will regardless remain at world-level as one of the division's leading contenders and a likely future challenger to Joshua, but if he is forced to wait could struggle to maintain the impressive momentum he has built.
The way Chisora's head heavily hit the canvas after Whyte's powerful left hook landed secured the latest damaging defeat of what has already been a difficult career, meaning that at 34 and with fewer options he should consider retirement.

Who's going to win?
Dillian Whyte 2/5
Dereck Chisora 5/2
Draw 20/1
Round one: That was fairly comfortable before Walsh. He's kept Bellotti at distance with ease and has landed his jab nicely. The challenger's team are taking a look at his left eye as it's already got some redness around it.
Easy to smile when you're not the one entering the ring. David Haye is at the O2 Arena tonight.
Dereck Chisora has one plan and one plan only when he faces Whyte this evening. Seek and destroy.
Last November after we left Monte Carlo people said: ‘he’s done’. But I rebuilt and came back. I am born again. I gave my life to the Lord. By doing that, I became a better person. My good friend David put me through my paces.
The tables are screwed down so I can’t move them. I won’t do that anymore. Our game-plan is to bite the gum shield, seek and destroy.
Round two: Another comfortable one for Walsh. A bit of a nothing round but Bellotti is just on the back foot and not really moving forward at all.
Round three: Bellotti is really letting Walsh get to work. The defending champion has looked more composed and the tactics of his opponent just aren't working, if there are any tactics at all.
That's 3-0 Walsh for me.
Round four: Walsh began to show his style in that round, landing jabs cleanly as well as some body shots. It was Bellotti who landed the best shot of the round with a strong left hook, but he wasn't busy enough again.
Ryan Walsh has been the more aggressive and telling of the two fighters so far.
Round five: Another sluggish round from Bellotti. Has the occasion got the better of him? His team are telling him that he needs to get his feet moving and 'increasing' his punch output. I have it as 5-0 to Walsh.
Round six: Bellotti didn't really do what his corner told him to, he closed the gap well but wasn't doing anything with it - and when he did try to throw he missed. Walsh is slipping and landing on the counter punches.
