Dereck Chisora says his pre-fight face-off with Dillian Whyte should go ahead, despite calls for more security measures to separate the heavyweight rivals.

The feuding pair had to be separated by security staff while filming 'The Gloves Are Off', but they will cross paths again next week ahead of their British title fight on the Anthony Joshua-Eric Molina bill on December 10, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Tempers boiled over between Chisora and Whyte when they filmed 'The Gloves Are Off'

But 'Del Boy' insists he will not spark a physical confrontation with his fellow Londoner if they go head to head again.

"Listen man, I'm chilled now," Chisora exclusively told Sky Sports. "I just want the fight to go ahead. I don't want to do any commotion, I'm fine."

The face-off should go ahead, I think the fans want to see a face-off.

Referring to 'The Gloves Are Off' row, he said: "With me, I never know what is going to happen. Sometimes if I get bored I just trigger off. I was just bored.

"The face-off should go ahead. I think the fans want to see a face-off. Of course we want to have a face-off."
