Derek Chisora: British boxer says he's been given 'green light' by wife for Deontay Wilder rematch later in 2026

Derek Chisora, 42, lost by split decision to Deontay Wilder in their heavyweight clash last month, which was the 50th fight of Wilder's professional career. Despite Wilder previously suggesting he would retire after that bout, Chisora has confirmed he is in talks for a rematch later in 2026. Chisora told Sky Sports News that his wife has given him the 'green light' to pursue the rematch and he has no plans to retire.
