Derek Chisora has made his stance clear \u2014 he wants Deontay Wilder and nothing else.<\/p>\n

The beloved British heavyweight, by way of Zimbabwe, has made it official: he\u2019s coming back to boxing. His sights are set on one man\u2014the last man\u2014Deontay Wilder. In an interview with talkSPORT, Chisora reflected on last week\u2019s epic clash with Wilder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very upset with the scoring and everything,\u201d Chisora said. \u201cThe two knockdowns I was given were pushes. The stupid ring they put up as well. The ropes were so loose that it was just an embarrassment.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued with visible frustration. \u201cSo I wasn\u2019t happy with that. I\u2019ll be honest with you. The whole thing was in shambles. On my side and his side as well, so everyone was in shambles. But I want to get a rematch.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bout in question took place at the O2 Arena in front of a sold out crowd. Wilder edged Chisora by split decision after a competitive and chaotic contest.<\/p>\n

Many expected that fight to mark the end of Chisora\u2019s long career. Promoters billed it as his 50th and final appearance. Instead, it has sparked yet another comeback.<\/p>\n

Derek Chisora believes the result did not tell the full story. He also feels the conditions inside the ring played a role.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, Chisora showed his usual toughness. He pressed forward and forced exchanges. The crowd responded to his aggression throughout the fight.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Wilder relied on timing and power. He scored the two knockdowns that helped sway the judges.<\/p>\n

Now, Chisora hopes to settle the dispute in a second fight. He sees it as unfinished business.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time he has teased retirement. His previous bout against Otto Wallin carried the label \u201cLast Dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Chisora later clarified those comments in an interview with Brunch Boxing<\/a>. He said the phrase only referred to his final fight in Manchester.<\/p>\n

That explanation now feels like a preview of what followed. Retirement, for Chisora, has often been flexible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even so, fans continue to embrace his returns. His all action style and honesty keep him relevant. Each comeback adds another chapter to a unique career.<\/p>\n

Whether the rematch happens remains uncertain. Wilder has other options in a crowded heavyweight division, including a\u00a0potential bout with Oleksandr Usyk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
