Derek Chisora has said no to a big-money offer for his last fight. The heavyweight boxer turned down a couple of million pounds to face Moses Itauma in Saudi Arabia.
Chisora, also known as 'Del Boy', is looking to end his career on a high note. He's had 49 fights so far and wants to make his 50th one special. Right now, he's doing well and is in a good position with the IBF. He might even get a shot at Oleksandr Usyk, the two-time undisputed champion.
Chisora explained why he turned down the offer:
"I had a phone call a couple of weeks ago. They offered me to fight Moses Itauma in Saudi. I said how much? They said a couple of million and I said 'nah, I'm out.'"
Itauma is a young heavyweight who's making waves in the boxing world. At just 20 years old, he's won 12 fights, with 10 of those by knockout. He's knocked out his last three opponents in the first two rounds.
The much-loved Chisora has been in good form lately. He's won his last three fights against Otto Wallin, Joe Joyce, and Gerald Washington. His exciting style always brings high intensity to the ring.
While Chisora is wrapping up his career, Itauma is just getting started. He's set to face Dillian Whyte next, a big step up that could push him to the next level if he wins.
Chisora hasn't said who he wants for his last fight yet. He's taking his time to pick the right opponent to end his long and eventful career. With 49 fights under his belt, Chisora wants to make sure his 50th and final bout is one to remember.
