Derek Chisora and Kubrat Pulev will go head to head once more this weekend, six years after their first meeting, which was won by Pulev to secure the EBU heavyweight title en-route to an eventual world title shot. They will go head to head at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday night for another fiercely contested battle.
Pulev, 41, was fighting for world titles as recently as December 2020, as he fought Anthony Joshua for the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles. This was just the second defeat out of 29 fights in his career, with the first coming against Wladimir Klitschko back in 2014.
Chisora, meanwhile, fought Vitali Klitschko for the WBC title ten years ago and has suffered three successive defeats after losing to Oleksandr Usyk in 2020, before back-to-back losses to Joseph Parker last year made it 12 losses in 44 fights for the Zimbabwe born fighter.
