Derek Chisora is hoping to fight one of Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder.

Earlier this month, Chisora defeated Kubrat Pulev in a rematch six years in the making.

The win appears to have reinvigorated Chisora’s ambitions. Soon after the win, he said he wanted to fight the "Bronze Bomber", who last fought in October 2021, losing to Fury as he failed to reclaim the WBC heavyweight championship.

However, in the days after Chisora’s victory, his friend Fury criticised the 38-year-old veteran for backing Dillian Whyte in his April fight against Fury. 

Whyte was seen off with a sixth-round uppercut knockout. Fury seems to have been nursing a grudge, having missed out on Chisora’s backing.

Speaking to IFL TV, Chisora said he would be happy to meet Fury in the ring to settle the matter. But, if not, he still wanted Wilder.

He said: "Listen, Frank Warren and the 'Gypsy King's posse, just tell me when and where or what time and I am there. I just want to fight. If you are a fighter, you should fight everybody out there. 

“It is just business. It would be a great fight with Tyson. I have respect for Tyson and his family, but if he wants to fight.... and if he doesn't, I want to fight Deontay Wilder.”
