Derek Chisora: Anthony Joshua's management company 258 MGT sign heavyweight

[Ruthless-RKO]

258 MGT managing director Freddie Cunningham said: "Derek has vast experience of the game and has seen the whole industry from the front-line. We are just really happy with all that experience. He feels the 258 team can add to what he is doing"



Derek Chisora has joined 258 MGT, the management company owned by Anthony Joshua.

Chisora first met a young Joshua at the Finchley amateur gym, where he also met Ben Ileyemi, now the Boxing Advisor at 258.

"The game is still the same just with the new management team," Chisora said. "Looking forward to doing good business with 258. War Chisora!"

258 MGT managing director Freddie Cunningham said: "Derek has vast experience of the game and has seen the whole industry from the front-line. We are just really happy with all that experience. He feels the 258 team can add to what he is doing. We are excited to get going and looking to negotiate and build up to big fights before the year is out."

258 MGT chief operating officer David Ghansa said: "The partnership with Derek, his team and 258 is not one out of the blue. We have known each other for 20 years now, from inside the gym to outside we have been connected and always looked to help each other where we can. We are all really excited to formalise a working relationship, work with his existing team and create new opportunities for him."

Chisora most recently was left frustrated by a points loss to Joseph Parker, despite scoring a first-round knockdown.

Previously he was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk who will next challenge Joshua for the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles on September 25, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

He didn’t train him the last fight.. they split. Commitments and location and all that.

Details of Chisora’s ring return will be revealed in due course.

I thought he was back. Maybe Dave has turned the heating down.

And Del doesn’t wanna get in his undies.

I was sorta kinda hoping he would retire, not sign another deal.
Been in some real sustained wars, earned way more than his record would leave you to believe, and staring down 38 soon.
What is he going to do, other than being the gatekeeper to tier #2 of the Heavyweight division?

Chisora will be punching for pay well into this 40’s at this rate - AJ should have instructed him to retire and save himself from further damage.

[gregregegg]

Chisora is 2 average wins away from a fight with AJ... (especialy if AJ stays with sky so the UK is the top priority).

[margaret thatcher]

could to see aj giving back to the superior black race.....aj, chizzy, oko, buatsi......some seriously tough dudes there

[Crease]

Hopefully this means that Del Boy will be on AJ's undercards... He's always good value for having a go at his opponent.
