Derek Chisora is searching for an opponent for his 50th and final fight, with one man being swerved immediately.
Derek Chisora has said for a long time that he will retire after his 50th professional bout, and is now one fight away from finishing his 18-year-long career.
One thing that has been confirmed is that Chisora turned down a big offer against a hungry prospect.
Derek Chisora turned down Moses Itauma fight
After Dillian Whyte vs Moses Itauma was announced, Chisora branded the matchmaking ‘attempted murder’.
Del Boy criticised Whyte vs Itauma, even going as far as to say the matchmaker ought to go to prison.
In an interview with TalkSport, he even revealed that the fight was offered to him first, but that he turned it down.
“They offered me to fight Moses Itauma in Saudi Arabia, I said ‘how much?’ they said two million, I said ‘Nah, I’m out.'”
Chisora revealed he even called Whyte to question him accepting the fight.
Derek Chisora could fight in a trilogy for his final bout
Chisora’s opponent has not yet been announced, but one rumored fight is Joseph Parker vs Derek Chisora 3.
Chisora and Parker fought for the first time in 2021, when Chisora lost a close split-decision to the Kiwi heavyweight.
The pair rematched seven months later, and Parker found far more success, dropping Chisora multiple times to cruise to a unanimous decision win.
