British Boxing Legend Derek Chisora Isn’t Done Just Yet As The British Heavyweight Icon Hints At Another Blockbuster Fight

After defeating former Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua opponent Otto Wallin in his 49th professional fight, the Derek Chisora next fight could see ‘Del Boy’ in line for mega-fight before hanging up the gloves for good.

Derek Chisora Next Fight: Heavyweight Icon Could Headline Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Some boxing fans have been calling for Derek Chisora to retire for several years now, with the British heavyweight now 41-years-old. Not only that, but Chisora has had 49 fights as a professional, dating back to his debut way back in 2007.

Derek Chisora’s record consists of 36 wins and 13 defeats, including 23 wins via knockout. It seems that ‘Del Boy’ could add to this record in his next fight, as it looks highly likely that the London man is set for a 50th professional boxing outing later in 2025.

Chisora was last seen in action in February, comprehensively beating former Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua opponent Otto Wallin with a unanimous decision victory. Despite being a pre-fight underdog with the best UK boxing betting sites, Chisora beat Wallin with relative ease.

Now, it looks like the Derek Chisora next fight is yet another one where he will be the underdog, just like he has been with the best UK betting sites in six of his last seven fights. He has won three of these as the outsider, as well as one as a favourite. For his next fight, he’ll once again be expected to lose if it is against a top raked heavyweight.

In terms of names, a Dillian Whyte trilogy has been mentioned, as has a huge clash with former UFC heavyweight king Francia Ngannou. These seem like the two most obvious choices, but Chisora himself has mentioned the names of Oleksandr Usyk, Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua.

Time will tell what happens regarding Derek Chisora’s next fight. He and promoter Frank Warren will sit down and work out a plan going forward, which could of course also involve His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and the possibility of fighting on a Riyadh Season card.

When Will Derek ‘Del Boy’ Chisora Retire From Boxing?

As previously alluded to, Derek Chisora’s most recent victory over Otto Wallin was his 49th professional boxing fight. ‘Del Boy’ has mentioned his desire to reach 50 fights, so it is unlikely he retires now after 49 bouts having also just won three fights on the spin.

Now into his 40’s and having lost 13 times, many fans and respected boxing figures have talked of their desire to see ‘Del Boy’ hang up his gloves for good.

Even the likes of Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn, both of whom have promoted Chisora on numerous occasions, have even hinted at retirement for the British boxing veteran on more than one occasion. But now that seems unlikely until 2026.

The conversation is once again about retirement for Chisora, despite beating Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce and Wallin back-to-back-to-back.

Time will tell with Derek Chisora and the retirement hints. He has been a servant to British boxing, and will forever go down in history as one of the toughest from the UK. He has been fighting all his life, so another fight or two could be what ‘Del Boy’ really wants.

No fan would begrudge Chisora from reaching his goal of 50 professional fights. Fingers crossed he is able to do it whilst keeping his health in tact, and can then ride off into the sunset and enjoy the fruits of his labour once and for all.
