Promoter Frank Warren has revealed the winner of the upcoming bout between Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder could become the mandatory challenger for Oleksandr Usyk's IBF heavyweight title. The loser, however, may be forced into retirement. This high-stakes fight in April pits two seasoned veterans against each other, with significant implications for the heavyweight division's future.

Chisora is currently the highest-ranked contender in the IBF's heavyweight ratings. Usyk, holding multiple belts, has been given permission by the WBC to make a voluntary defense. After that, he is expected to face Agit Kabayel, the WBC mandatory challenger. The IBF will then require Usyk to defend his title, potentially against the Chisora-Wilder victor.

Warren indicated that Usyk's plans beyond his next fight are uncertain, as the unified champion is seemingly focused on securing lucrative paydays. The boxing world anticipates Usyk's next move. Winning against Wilder would put Chisora in a prime position to challenge for the title, potentially setting up a major title fight later in the year.

The clash between Chisora and Wilder represents a crucial moment for both fighters. With both men in the twilight of their careers, the outcome will have a lasting impact. The winner will have a shot at the coveted IBF title, and the loser will likely face retirement, signaling the end of an era.
