Derek Chisora wants to end career with Wembley world title fight against Daniel Dubois

Derek Chisora wants to end career with Wembley world title fight against Daniel Dubois

Derek Chisora is desperate for a world title shot against Daniel Dubois in his final fight.

The veteran British heavyweight is the mandatory challenger to Dubois' IBF belt and thinks it would be fitting for his final professional outing to be a world title bout at Wembley Stadium.

Chisora told Sky Sports: "We'll see what happens, but I want that shot since the IBF made me mandatory for it. I want it, there's no two ways about it. I want it badly.

"I want to fight Daniel. It's a good story, because behind the whole thing is he's trained by my old trainer. It's a very exciting fight, and I just want that shot now.

"This is the first time in my career I've been mandatory for the world title shot. Can you believe that?

"I said to myself I've only got a couple of fights left, so I'm just going to train hard, dedicate myself to it, and I'm going to entertain the crowd.

"Yes, I'll wait [for Dubois fight]. I'm not in a rush. I'm going to try and call Frank [Warren] after this. I'll wait and see what happens, but I want that world title shot."

The boxer continued: "I'm going to try and get some news this weekend, but I can guarantee you the fight with Daniel is going to happen in Wembley.

"I'll sell out Wembley. I'm planning the whole ring entrance, everything in my head right now. I'm working right now. I'm not training yet, but I'm working on it. The ring entrance, the show."

Chisora, 41, has insisted that his 50th fight will be his final outing in the ring "whatever happens".

He said: "Listen, at the end of this year, I'll be retiring. I'm not going to lie to you. I'll be out. Is it going to delay my retirement plans? No.

"Whatever happens, this will be the last one. Yes, I'll just walk away [even if a world champion].

"It's the last dance. There's no dance after. This is it. When I leave the ring, that's it. Done."
