Derek Chisora in Talks to Face Jarrell Miller on Dec. 13 in Manchester

Reports say negotiations have advanced after earlier links to Zhilei Zhang.

Overview

  • Both camps are discussing Chisora’s 50th professional fight for Dec. 13 in Manchester, and the bout has not been officially confirmed.
  • The card is expected to be topped by rising heavyweight Moses Itauma, whose opponent is yet to be announced.
  • Chisora has billed the night as his “last dance” and is coming off three straight wins, most recently a points victory over Otto Wallin in February.
  • Reporting indicates the IBF has recently installed Chisora as its mandatory challenger, creating potential title implications for his next move.
  • Miller, a former title hopeful, served a two-year ban after multiple failed drug tests in 2019 and has not fought since a disputed draw with Andy Ruiz Jr following a stoppage loss to Daniel Dubois in 2023.
