Derek Chisora has seemingly made a U-turn on his retirement promise, revealing his interest in one last fight before finally hanging up the gloves.
The 42-year-old insisted he would retire after reaching a total of 50 professional outings, which he managed to achieve against Deontay Wilder last week.
Their showdown delivered an action-packed but largely untidy spectacle, with neither veteran proving to be capable of competing at the top level.
Not only that, but the two heavyweights were guilty of multiple infringements, to which referee Mark Bates responded by deducting just one point from Wilder.
Nevertheless, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ edged a split decision through 12 rounds and, in turn, has kept himself in the shop window for another lucrative opportunity.
As for Chisora, it would appear that he, too, is sniffing around for at least one last dance, hoping to secure a rematch with his American counterpart.
Speaking with talkSPORT, the Londoner claimed this is the only fight for which he is willing to hang around, while also expressing his frustration with how their first encounter unfolded.
More specifically, Chisora believes the two knockdowns given against him were mightily unfair, but also feels he deserved to have his hand raised either way.
“I’m very upset with the scoring. The two knockdowns that [were] given were pushes.
“I’ll be honest with you: the whole thing was a shambles, on my side and his side as well. But I wanna get a rematch.”
Many would agree that referee Bates failed to take control of the fight, though there was perhaps less of an uproar about Wilder claiming a victory on points.
Either way, fight fans are hardly clamouring for a rematch between the pair, despite both of them engaging in an enthralling but technically-limited battle.
