Derek Chisora names the major heavyweight star he will 'retire'

Derek Chisora’s next move is still unconfirmed, but the former heavyweight challenger has identified one fighter he would love to face.  

Chisora has not competed in the ring since defeating Gerald Washington last August, but he would relish the opportunity to take on Francis Ngannou. 

The former UFC superstar has made quite an impact in boxing after losing to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in his first two fights.  

It looks like Ngannou could be heading back to the cage, but Chisora has made it clear that he’s happy to see him in the ring. 

“I would happily get in the ring with Ngannou and retire him from boxing,” said Chisora when speaking to Crypto Casino LTD. 

“We’ve heard all the excuses, like being made to get to the arena too early, fight me and he can turn up whenever he wants, the result will be the same.”
