Derek Chisora has claimed he has "officially retired" from boxing despite insisting he would be willing to step in the ring with Tyson Fury.
'WAR' has not fought since defeating Kubrat Pulev in a heavyweight rematch earlier this year, but has been linked with a series of bouts including against WBC champion Fury. Fans and fighters in the sport have called for Chisora to retire, but the heavyweight veteran has refused to give in and promoter Eddie Hearn has hinted that his next fight will take place later this year.
This weekend, Chisora attended Joe Joyce's statement KO victory over Joseph Parker in Manchester as he eyed up his heavyweight competition. However, after the fight had ended, Chisora spoke to BT Sport and replied "I'm retired" when asked if he would make a return to the ring any time soon.
