Derek Chisora has told Sky Sports he plans to retire after his next fight “whatever happens,” but “badly wants” it to be a title shot against Daniel Dubois at Wembley.
Last week, the IBF confirmed it would order Chisora’s mandatory challenge for fellow Brit Dubois’ world championship on April 22.
The British heavyweight floored Otto Wallin twice to earn a points win in his 49th career fight in February, which was designated as a title eliminator for the right to challenge current IBF champion Dubois.
Chisora has been installed as the mandatory challenger for the IBF belt without having to box in a final eliminator, and the 41-year-old has revealed to Sky Sports that even if he became world champion, he wouldn’t fight again.
“Listen, at the end of this year, I’ll be retiring. I’m not going to lie to you. I’ll be out. Is it going to delay my retirement plans? No,” he said.
UFC’s Michael ‘Venom’ Page says sparring partner Chisora should face Daniel Dubois in his last fight
“Whatever happens, this will be the last one. Yes, I’ll just walk away [even if a world champion].
“You don’t understand, it’s not even up to me, it’s up to my wife. This is it. She said: ‘if you have one more fight after this, I’ll leave you.’ So I’m like: ‘okay fine.’ She said: ‘One fight and you’re out.’
“You can’t do that ‘one more, one more’ thing. This is a problem. This is where you get caught out and then problems happen.
“So, no. Even the British Boxing Board of Control have said to me: ‘one more and we’re actually barring you from boxing.’ So that’s it.
“It’s the last dance. There’s no dance after. This is it. When I leave the ring, that’s it. Done.”
Chisora: I want title shot vs Dubois badly – it would be at Wembley
While talks over a fight with Dubois are still to take place, Chisora confirmed any potential bout would take place at Wembley, and he has envisioned it all already.
“We’ll see what happens, but I want that shot since the IBF made me mandatory for it. I want it, there’s no two ways about it. I want it badly.
“I want to fight Daniel. It’s a good story, because behind the whole thing is he’s trained by my old trainer. It’s a very exciting fight, and I just want that shot now.
“This is the first time in my career I’ve been mandatory for the world title shot. Can you believe that?

“I said to myself I’ve only got a couple of fights left, so I’m just going to train hard, dedicate myself to it, and I’m going to entertain the crowd.
“Yes, I’ll wait [for Dubois fight]. I’m not in a rush. I’m going to try and call Frank [Warren] after this. I’ll wait and see what happens, but I want that world title shot.
“I’m going to try and get some news this weekend, but I can guarantee you the fight with Daniel is going to happen in Wembley.
“I’ll sell out Wembley. I’m planning the whole ring entrance, everything in my head right now. I’m working right now. I’m not training yet, but I’m working on it. The ring entrance, the show.
“My ideal date would be on Bank Holiday Sunday. Everybody comes out, wives and kids, have a good time, a great show, enjoy and go home. Ben Shalom promoted a fight on Sunday. It was a blockbuster. It was beautiful.
“I don’t know [what date]. It’s not up to me.”

Beane, who heard the end of the segment while on hold for his spot, took exception and jumped right into it after the initial greeting once on the air.Advertisement“I was just listening to the last few minutes of your show before I came on, […]

Cicinho indica clube com status de “bucha” no Brasileirão: “Vai lutar para não cair”
Cicinho, comentarista do Jogo Aberto (Reprodução) Cicinho, após o desligamento de Fábio Carille, não ficou surpreso com a decisão do Vasco. Inicialmente, o ex-jogador sinalizou que o discurso atrelado ao nível do elenco cruz-maltino trouxe um impacto negativo para o trabalho. Agora, levando em conta o plantel “limitadíssimo”, houve um alerta sobre a luta contra o rebaixamento no Brasileirão que o próximo técnico vai encarar à frente do time carioca. “Novidade não é. O Vasco não tem um elenco competitivo como o presidente Pedrinho acha. O Carille abraçou essa bronca e aí sobra sempre para o treinador.”, disse Cicinho, no Jogo Aberto.

Barinka po konci ve Vítkovicích posílí extraligového konkurenta
Barinka se letos svezl s mdlým výkonem Vítkovic, které zachránil až lednový příchod trenéra Václava Varadi. Zatímco loni se po příchodu z německého Iserlohnu rychle zařadil mezi stěžejní postavy moravského celku, letos zaznamenal ve 49 vystoupeních jen 18 bodů (8+10). Loni jich přitom stihl 21, přičemž odehrál o jedenáct utkání méně.I tak na něj Vítkovice uplatnily po sezoně opci, přesto se obě strany po vzájemné dohodě rozešly. V Kladně dostane Barinka pravděpodobně stěžejní roli.
