Deontay Wilder rules out fight with Derek Chisora after Kubrat Pulev victory

Derek Chisora won't be getting a fight with Deontay Wilder on the back of his victory over Kubrat Pulev, according to the American's manager.

Shelly Finkel, who takes care of Wilder's career along with Jay Deas, has laid out a path to get Wilder back to the top of the heavyweight division, with a bout against either Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk. It is expected to get going in October, with Frank Warren claiming that he's more likely to face Robert Helenius.

The former world heavyweight champion was undefeated before his trilogy with Tyson Fury, in which he drew their first meeting and lost the second two by knockout. But the Brit insists that Wilder is the second best heavyweight in the world, above either of Joshua or Usyk who hold the rest of the belts.
