Derek Chisora’s Indian summer continues to rumble on following his unanimous decision victory over Otto Wallin in February.
The result means Chisora has now won each of his last three contests, having previously ousted American veteran Gerald Washington and fellow countryman Joe Joyce.
And so Chisora, who is now 41 years of age, is on the cusp of a third world title shot after being announced as IBF mandatory challenger last week.
His two previous attempts ended in defeat to Vitali Klitschko and Tyson Fury, who both held the WBC title at the time the bouts took place.
Derek Chisora plans to fight Daniel Dubois at Wembley
Chisora’s next fight will be his 50th as a professional and so the heavyweight veteran is targeting a blockbuster meeting to round off his career.
There are few bouts bigger than one with IBF champion Daniel Dubois, who knocked out Anthony Joshua in five rounds last September.
Chisora’s fight with Wallin was initially an IBF title eliminator, but the sanctioning body have now confirmed they will order Dubois to defend against Chisora next.
The bout is music to the ears of the challenger, who expressed his intentions to fight Dubois in an interview with talkSPORT on Saturday.
He said: “I’m not calling anybody out, I want my world title shot with Daniel at Wembley. I know I can sell out Wembley.
“I know Daniel pulled out of the fight with Joseph Parker and he’s come out and apologised, [but] he’s learning. He’s a good fighter, he’s learning his craft right now… he’ll defend his title with me.”
Chisora teases Ben Shalom about getting fired
Chisora wasn’t the only man to feature in the interview with talkSPORT. Promoter Ben Shalom was also alongside him as both were present at an Usher concert in London.
Shalom butted in on the discussions around Chisora’s potential fight with Dubois, saying the former needs an ‘independent promoter’ due to rival Frank Warren’s association with the IBF champion.
Chisora laughed off Shalom’s claims and produced a typically comical response.
He said: “I’ve already said to Ben I’ll finish my career with Frank. Ben isn’t trying to sign Fabio [Wardley] or somebody, because he’s trying to dine down.
“He’s about to get fired in the next couple of months if he doesn’t produce a blockbuster, so he’s trying to save his job using my name.”
Whichever promoter Chisora signs with next, there can be no doubting the incredible story his career has been so far.
Chisora has defied expectations throughout his career – can he do it one last time?”
