Next weekend Derek Chisora (32-12, 23 KOs) will face Kubrat Pulev (29-2, 14 KOs). Despite the fact that the Briton has lost his last three fights in a row, this fight is one of the most important of the upcoming weekend.
If the Englishman successfully bounces back from the six-year-old defeat to Pulev, he will be able to count on even greater trials. For example, fighting against Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs). At least that's what promoter Eddie Hearn says. On the other hand, Chisora's career may not change if he loses for the fourth time in a row.
“We spoke with Derek, and I promised him that if he wins against Pulev, he will get a very big fight. Perhaps it will be possible to agree on a duel with Deontay Wilder. But if he loses, then, in my opinion, he should end his career, ”said Chisora's promoter.
“Boxing keeps Derek fit and alive, if he ended his career, he would start drinking and smoking, otherwise he remains in training mode and leads a sports lifestyle. It is boxing that keeps him clean and healthy. If he had ended his career too soon, he would have died relatively quickly, ”said David Haye, first a great enemy and rival of Chisora, and then his friend and manager.
