British heavyweight boxer Dillian Whyte delivered a brutal 11th‑round knockout of Dereck Chisora to maintain hope of facing world champion Anthony Joshua.

In an intense rematch, Chisora brought constant pressure and was up on two of the three cards when he was stopped.

But the 34‑year‑old ‑ who had been deducted two points ‑ left himself exposed to a crushing left to the jaw.

Afterwards, Whyte called out Joshua, who stepped up to the ring and said Whyte was third on his list of targets.

IBF, WBO and WBA champion Joshua has made it clear he hopes to fight WBC title holder Deontay Wilder, with Tyson Fury a second target.

Joshua moved from his commentary position, climbed to the ring ropes and asked fans at London's O2 Arena if they would be interested in him fighting Whyte, prompting cheers.

Joshua added that if the Whyte fight gets made he does not want to want to hear any boos.
