The renowned British heavyweight, Dereck Chisora, has expressed his curiosity to come back inside the boxing ring again. After succumbing to a unanimous decision loss to Oleksandr Usyk last year, many expected him to hang his gloves from the sport. However, the veteran wants to defy expectations and resume his career. In fact, he also has an opponent in mind for his return fight.
Recently, Chisora took to his official social handle, wherein he rolled out a virtual call video with Joe Parker. The duo agreed to fight each other and gave a coherent message to their fans.
“Guess who’s calling. Hey, boy! I’m tryna get hold of you, son. I’m ready to go man how are you?

The duo shared a healthy banter with each other, yet asserted on a sure shot fight. Both of them are among the most sturdy heavyweight prospects, looking to bag a title shot soon.
The ‘War’ won the WBO inter-continental heavyweight title in 2019, but couldn’t sustain it in the long run. On the flip side, Joseph Parker has solidified his resume with constant wins over the past few years, but those wins have arrived over lesser-known opponents.
In order to make their way to the top, the duo will have to fight some bigwigs of the most dynamic division. And consequently, they came out with a solution to fight each other.
