Reinier de Ridder open to Whittaker rematch at light heavyweight

Reinier de Ridder has not ruled out a potential rematch with Robert Whittaker, but indicated he would prefer it to take place at light heavyweight rather than middleweight. De Ridder stated that he would like to face a different opponent for his debut in a new weight class rather than immediately running back the Whittaker fight. He also revealed that his next bout is scheduled for the summer, though no specific opponent or event was named. De Ridder suggested that a rematch with Whittaker is not necessary at this time.
