And Hearn insists the popular Brixton star has the ability to upset the division’s biggest names — including WBC title-holder Deontay Wilder.

“I believe Dillian can beat Wilder, absolutely. I believe he can beat Joseph Parker, who will be WBO world champion, and I believe he could probably beat Wladimir Klitschko as well.
“I want him to be in those fights and the good thing about him is he will fight anyone. You don’t have to ask him twice.”
Whyte and Chisora, 32, continued their war of words at a head-to-head in London yesterday. Hearn added: “We got out alive! Thank God that’s over.”
