Derek Chisora and Kubrat Pulev will meet for the second time at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday, July 9, broadcast on DAZN (excluding Australia, New Zealand, Uzbekistan and France), more than six years after their 12-round battle for the European heavyweight title in Hamburg , Germany.
Pulev (29-2, 14 KOs) fared better in their first bout, winning a split decision to move him forward to an IBF world title qualifier and claim the vacant European crown for the second time in his career.
Chisora (32-12, 23 KOs) has since faced many big names in the heavyweight division, including twice WBC title contender Dillian Whyte, WBA and IBF world title contender Carlos Takam, unified champion world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and many others. Recently, two tough fights with former WBO champion Joseph Parker also took place.
