Derek Chisora says he’s “officially retired” from boxing

British heavyweight Derek Chisora claims he is now officially retired from the sport despite beating Kubrat Pulev last time out.

The former world title challenger announced his decision to BT Sport Box Office on Saturday night when attending Joe Joyce vs Joseph Parker.

Has Derek Chisora retired from boxing?
Having lost three of his last four bouts, Chisora told an interviewer his career was over.

The BT Sport presenter looked bemused as Chisora gave short answers and seemed angry at being put on the spot.

Knowing Chisora’s mood swings is unlikely to be a true statement. “WAR” will undoubtedly be back in the ring soon.



Tyson Fury exchange

Chisora claimed he was in Manchester to fight Tyson Fury bareknuckle in a startling exchange with the WBC heavyweight champion.

Chisora said: “I’m in Manchester. I am in Manchester, remember what you said?”

Fury replied: “Derek, what’s happening? What did I say about Manchester?”

Chisora told him: “You said to come to Manchester. I’ll fight you bare knuckle. You were talking s***. I’m here.”

Fury then revealed some agreement between the pair was discussed and probably why “The Gypsy King” made it public that he wanted an unwarranted trilogy with Chisora.

“Why didn’t you sign the contract then? – Two million quid.

Chisora stated: “You didn’t send me a contract. Don’t send me messages saying come to my home, and I’ll fight you bare knuckle.”

Fury added: “I’ll fight you bare knuckle. No problem. Any time, any place, anywhere. You got two million, and you refused it.”

DC: “You didn’t send me anything.”

TF: “There was no need to send it. You declined two million.”

Fury vs Joshua

The pair then turned to a potential battle between Fury and Anthony Joshua on December 3rd at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

DC: “If the fight happens, he’ll [AJ] win.”

TF: “I’ll win. I’ll knock him out inside six rounds. If you want, I’ll fight you in between rounds too. That’s how easy work it is.”

DC: “Like how your mate [Parker] done here.”

TF: ‘My mate beat you though, didn’t he? And I beat you.”

DC: “He got knocked out, though.”

TF: “I knocked you out, so what does that say about you? He beat you, and I beat you also.”

DC: “Do you want to fight? I will pay your wages.”

He will fight again if the money is right

[Ruthless-RKO]

He's not really retired obviously..

There was some funny exchanges.

IFL posted the whole thing.

Gareth Davies was in the middle.

Absolutely fûck off. Boxings a farce nowadays.

One FC and UFC have absolutely shown boxing up as far as putting the best fights on. I can hardly get up for anything boxing now.

Never mind this utter pish with Old Chisora and Billy Bullshit Fury.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Jesus, Fury really does talk utter pish doesn't he?

[chinarich]

I’ve always liked Chisora and he’s apparently earned a lot of money so I would prefer he retired to enjoy it rather than take more punishment in the ring. Here’s a thought: is he the British fighter who has most maximised his earnings in terms of ability vs reward?

What’s that league thingy that Brendan guy fights on? The guy that the ufc don’t like for some reason? It looks an interesting format.

I quite like watching karate combat.

Good shout, but I lean towards Chisora because of longevity and commanding these purses for so long.

[Bigdogsnose]

Ah well. Thats that then. Nothing more to see here.

i noticed Mark Goddard has started reffing the Karate Combat (I think I also saw that Gabriel Vargas was fighting in that org now, or at least had had a fight with them?), which suggests to me that they are reasonably well established and have decent budget and reputation/ etc.

i've never bothered with the One FC MMa, only with the Muay Thai, may start on the MMA as well, I hear quite good things about (EG) more fights finished early/ better bonuses and so on

i guess i'd love a 'Disruptor' ( ) to come in and shake up the UFC (boxing is already waaaaaay past saving), as I really don't like Dan White.

One FC MMA, are they mostly focussed on the lighter weights? their bigger guys just looked like the type that would hang around Bellator undercards, to me.

They are focussed on the Asian market so mostly smaller guys. They do have some decent bigger guys like welter and middleweights.

I love that the UFC waste no time getting the big fights made. Dana is a prick for sure but from a fans perspective you get the fights you want to see in the UFC.

These guys attract publicity whenever they want. All it takes is one throwaway comment.

PFL? I don't watch it myself as the quality isn't quite up there yet but the structure of it is good and would give boxing fans what they're missing and MMA fans what they're missing: competitive fights with worthy champions, where the fighters get paid well but stay active, without the freakshow fights. They just need to keep growing and get big names.

Fury- You never signed the contract


Chisora - you never sent a contract


Fury - didnt need to


Tyson Fury in a nutshell gents, I really need to wind in my dislike for him, it's getting a bit out of hand, shame as i used to like him but he's an attention seeking spoofer

Yes , I think he won a lot of people over after the wilder fights but from what comments you read on the whole people are very tired of him .

He said he rejected £2m verbally.
