Who will be Derek Chisora’s<\/a> 50th opponent on December 13 in Manchester, England?
The longtime heavyweight contender seemed to be leaning toward Jarrell Miller<\/a> as his foe for what the Londoner has suggested will be his goodbye fight, but promoter Frank Warren says Miller is out.<\/p>\n

“Derek didn’t want to fight him,” Warren told BoxNation.<\/p>\n

David Haye, Chisora’s former advisor, told The Ring that Chisora has signed to fight Dillian Whyte<\/a> for a third time, but that has yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Warren said we’ll know for sure in a few days. \u201cWe will announce it on Saturday,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Chisora, 41, has been on a roll lately. After Tyson Fury stopped him in the 10th round of a non-competitive fight in 2022, he has outpointed Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce<\/a> and Otto Wallin<\/a> in succession. <\/p>\n

Haye, a former heavyweight titleholder who stopped Chisora in 2012, says Whyte is next.<\/p>\n

Whyte (31-4, 21 KOs) defeated Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs) by a split decision in a thrilling fight in 2016 and stopped him in 11 rounds in their 2018 rematch.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got Dillian Whyte 3, they’ve agreed the terms,” Haye said. “It’s 50-50, and the winner gets 60 percent, loser gets 40. Whyte lost to [Moses] Itauma in his last fight but this reminds me of Gatti-Ward. No matter what stage they fight at, it’s always going to be even and drama filled.<\/p>\n

“What a great way for Derek to finish his career. I was sitting with Derek at the Pride of Britain Awards [on Monday], and he was super excited.”<\/p>\n

Warren, however, has provided no clues about who Chisora’s opponent might be. The founder of Queensberry has been busy promoting this Saturday\u2019s matchup between heavyweight contenders Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley.<\/p>\n

The announcement is expected to be made before Parker and Wardley step into the ring.<\/p>\n
