Derek Chisora Sets Dec. 13 Manchester Farewell for 50th Fight

Promoter talks continue on his opponent, with rising prospect Moses Itauma set to box on the same card in a separate bout.

Overview

  • Chisora announced on Instagram that his 50th and likely final fight will take place in Manchester on 13 December.
  • He said the opponent will be revealed soon, noting a previously lined-up name was taken by the “big boss” as negotiations continue.
  • Reports state the event will also feature Moses Itauma on the bill, with the pair expected to compete in separate fights after Chisora previously declined a reported £2m Saudi offer to face him.
  • The 41-year-old heavyweight is on a three-fight winning run and outpointed Otto Wallin in Manchester in February to move to 36-13 (23 KOs).
  • Coverage suggests potential high-profile options are constrained, with Anthony Joshua not expected back until 2026, Oleksandr Usyk likely facing the Parker–Wardley winner next, and Daniel Dubois viewed as unlikely.
