DEREK CHISORA has confirmed that he will NOT be retiring after Saturday night’s fight with Kubrat Pulev at the O2 Arena even if he were to lose. ‘Del Boy’ has had 44 fights as a professional boxer, winning 32 and losing 12.
The 38-year-old Londoner has insisted that there is still plenty of fight left in him and that from now until the end of his career, Chisora will be looking to make as much money as possible from the sport of boxing.
Chisora Not Thinking Of Retirement Yet
Despite being 38-years-old and this bout on Saturday night being his 45th professional fight, Derek Chisora has insisted that he is not yet ready to call time on his career.

In recent times, boxing fans have expressed their desires for Chisora to hang up the gloves, before he sustains any further punishment and while he still has all of his faculties in tact.
Chisora’s last win came back in 2019, when he knocked out David Price, but since then, ‘Del Boy’ hasn’t won a fight. However, when asked about whether retirement is on the cards soon, Chisora said, “I’m not retiring for s**t. I’ll tell you that now.”
