Reinier de Ridder open to Robert Whittaker rematch at light heavyweight

Reinier de Ridder has stated he would not rule out a rematch with Robert Whittaker, but suggests it should take place at light heavyweight rather than middleweight. However, de Ridder indicated he would prefer to face a different opponent for his debut in his new division. The Dutch fighter has confirmed that his next fight is scheduled for this summer, though specific details about the opponent and event have not been announced. De Ridder's willingness to fight Whittaker again shows respect for the former middleweight champion, but his preference for a different debut opponent suggests he wants to establish himself in a new weight class first. The timeline for any potential rematch remains unclear.
