Derek Chisora, 42, has confirmed he will not retire and plans to return to the ring in December. The British boxer, who lost to Deontay Wilder in April in what was expected to be his final bout, announced at a Tuesday news conference that he is set to face Murat Gassiev. Chisora stated, "December will be me versus Gassiev," and added that the fight could take place in either London or Manchester.
He also mentioned that two belts are on the line, including the IBA title and the one held by Gassiev. "What the IBA does is unbelievable," Chisora said. "I believe this goes deeper than that we're doing here right now." Gassiev, currently the WBA 'super' heavyweight world champion, expressed uncertainty about his title status on Tuesday, amid reports linking Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to a potential fight for his belt on 11 December.
