What’s Next For Derek Chisora?

Alternatively, there is Joseph Parker. Parker is on an incredible run of form, having beaten Deotay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang and Martin Bakole in his last three fights. Parker secured the WBO Interim Heavyweight Title after the Bakole win. He could either wait for the winner of Usyk-Dubois or face Chisora in the meantime. Parker has beaten Chisora on two occasions, giving the latter a reason to run things back. 

Equally, there is the Fabio Wardley fight. Wardley is the WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion, who knocked out Justis Huni in his last fight. Wardley was getting outboxed before a right hand in round nine ended proceedings. Wardley is 19-0-1, with 18 knockouts to his name. That makes him a dangerous opponent, as he put Chisora on notice, telling him to ‘give me a call.’

While there has been speculation over the Anthony Joshua fight, the latter is currently recovering from elbow surgery. He may not want to take on Chisora for his first fight back, especially if Chisora has it as a farewell one. A loss to Chisora would damage his world title aspirations, but a win puts him in a mandatory position. Either way, Chisora says his future will become known soon.
