Zimbabwe-born British heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora scored arguably the best win of his career over Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev in London on Saturday night and said he is itching for a fight with American Deontay Wilder before he retires.
Derek Chisora was the underdog, was counted out, and some felt he should have retired before Saturday’s rematch with Kubrat Pulev having lost by a split decision to the Bulgarian in 2016 in Germany.
But Chisora pulled off the surprise in London, scoring arguably the best win of his career at age 38.

“I think I last won a fight three years ago. It’s been a while. It was hard,” Chisora said.
“Pulev’s a great fighter, very difficult. I trained hard. I’m happy today, and at the same time I’m sad. I don’t have many left in me, but what I have, I’m going to give it all to you guys.
“My next couple fights, I’m on my way out. I don’t want no easy fights, I want hard fights. I told Eddie (Hearn) the other day, if he can get me (Deontay Wilder), I’d be happy. I want to fight everybody in my era — win or lose, I just want to fight,” he said.
