Dillian Whyte believes he has matured as a fighter ahead of his rematch with Derek Chisora

Dillian Whyte has promised to "whup" Anthony Joshua – but will first focus on his upcoming rematch with Derek Chisora.

A second win against Chisora, live on Sky Sports Box Office on December 22, could propel Whyte into a challenge for Joshua's world heavyweight titles next year.

Whyte told Sky Sports about Joshua: "He's living his life but I'm here training. I'm not bothered by what he's doing. He can do what he wants.

"He's doing what all the big stars do.

"When his time comes to get his whupping, I will give it to him. But for now, I will focus on Derek.

"It's Derek's time now."
