CHIS TO THAT

Five next fights for Derek Chisora after epic Kubrat Pulev rematch win including Deontay Wilder and Joe Joyce

DEREK CHISORA lived to fight at least another day after overcoming Kubrat Pulev in their epic rematch.

Chisora went into the heavyweight headliner without a win since 2019 and three fights.

But he put on a thriller at the O2 Arena and vowed to carry on giving British boxing fans value for money.

With Chisora, 38, back to winning ways it leaves him primed for several big fights in the division.

And here, SunSport takes a look at his options.

Deontay Wilder

Immediately after being awarded the split-decision over Pulev, 41, Chisora called out the ex-WBC champion.

He said: "I don't want no easy fights, I want the hard fights. I told Eddie Hearn the other day, if he can get me the Bronze Bomber I'll be happy."

Wilder, 36, is yet to return since defeat in his trilogy bout to Tyson Fury, 33, in October 2021 but Hearn has teased a fight with Chisora before.

Joe Joyce

Joyce, 36, was due to fight Joseph Parker, 30, but the New Zealander instead signed for rival network Sky Sports.

It leaves the 2016 Olympic silver medalist again in need of a high-profile dance partner.

So if Chisora is open to leaving Hearn and DAZN for BT, he could have a blockbuster on his hands.

Adam Kownacki

Chisora was due to fight the New York-based Pole until he accidentally leaked their fight contract.

A fuming Kownacki, 33, then withdrew and was replaced by Pulev but will returns on July 30 against Gary Antuanne Russell, 26.

If he wins it could set the ball rolling to reschedule with Chisora, who will likely see that as a win-able option.

Dillian Whyte

The rivals shared two cracking fights over 23 rounds yet there is still an appetite for more.

Whyte, 34, won both but still Hearn has said a trilogy could be possible.

Although he might find it a tough sell to fans, no matter the guaranteed action on offer, with Chisora already twice losing.

Daniel Dubois

Dubois, 24, recently knocked out Trevor Bryan, 32, to win the WBA's secondary "Regular" title.

And it has caused his stock to go up even more, so a win over Chisora would do the contender a world of good.

If promoter Warren gets his chequebook out a coming of age clash could be an exciting prospect.
