Frank Warren names potential final foe for Derek Chisora
Promoter Frank Warren has intimated that heavyweight stalwart Derek Chisora may be in line for a fight against Joseph Parker.
In a video posted to the Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel, Warren said that he was looking to put together a ‘big, big’ fight for Chisora, 36-13 (23), who has said that whatever comes next will be his final bout.
Warren said: “Obviously for his fiftieth, he’s said it’s going to be his last, and he wants it to be a big, big fight. And he’s in a position where he’s the mandatory challenger for the title.”

According to the IBF, Chisora is currently the mandatory challenger for its heavyweight title, which is held by Daniel Dubois.
Chisora last fought in February when he scored a twelve-round decision over Otto Wallin in an IBF eliminator and is currently on a three-fight winning streak following his tenth-round loss to Tyson Fury in 2022.
Warren said that following the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Dubois, there will be some clarity within the heavyweight division.
He said: “There’s four belts on the line. We’re going to find out who’s the best, who’s the champion, and then all these mandatories are going to kick in. So all these guys are in the number one spot, or they’re interim champions. It’s going to open up for them.”
He added: “I have no idea at this stage, but the first one in will be the WBO mandatory. That’s the one that’s been ordered, and it’s due. And that’s Joseph Parker.”
Warren said that he would love to put on a third fight between Parker and Chisora. The former, he said, was looking to fight once more in September.
The heavyweight scene, Warren said, was on fire with a potential fight in Germany involving Agit Kabayel and the possibility of Joe Joyce fighting once again.
David Adeleye was another heavyweight that Warren spoke about. Without giving any detail, Warren said that there was a ‘big, big’ announcement coming soon.
