Derek Chisora claims he has RETIRED from boxing aged 38 despite ongoing Tyson Fury feud
DEREK CHISORA claims he has retired from boxing despite his ongoing rivalry with Tyson Fury.
Chisora, 38, returned to the ring in July and defeated Kubrat Pulev via split decision at the O2 Arena where he picked up his first win in almost three years.
The British star has also been embroiled in a heated rivalry with former friend Fury that has seen them exchange some heated barbs at each other.
The pair had been in talks to complete a trilogy, with The Gypsy King winning their previous two fights in 2011 and 2014.
However, Del Boy cast doubt on an imminent clash when he repeatedly stated that he is done with the sport when he attended Joe Joyce's fight against Joseph Parker in Manchester.
Chisora told when he was asked if he will be back in the ring "any time soon": "I'm retired."

The heavyweight boxer was then asked if that's official and he responded: "Yeah, I'm retired."
However, Fury and Chisora's feud heated up after Joyce dispatched Parker with a stunning knockout.
Del Boy confronted the undefeated heavyweight on camera and challenged him to a bare knuckle fight.
Chisora doubled down by claiming Fury will lose to Anthony Joshua if the two Brits meet in the ring.
