Wilder still won the fight, but he looked uncomfortable late when Chisora forced exchanges along the ropes. The pace of the fight and the close scoring immediately created talk about a rematch among British fans after the final bell. Chisora said negotiations are already moving forward.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m working on the rematch. The wife has given me the green light, so I will be doing the rematch,\u201d said Chisora to Sky Sports Boxing<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI haven\u2019t confirmed it yet. I have a couple of meetings tomorrow, and we will see how that goes.\u201d<\/p>\n Chisora originally presented the Wilder bout as the closing chapter of his career, which made his decision to continue surprising given the punishment he absorbed over 50 professional fights.<\/p>\n The British heavyweight has shared the ring with names like Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, and Dillian Whyte across a long career that has made him one of the most recognizable veterans in UK boxing.<\/p>\n Chisora said Wilder also wants the second fight despite winning the first meeting.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is keen because he\u2019s upset with the result as well. Yes, he might have won, but he\u2019s upset, so we are going to run it back.\u201d<\/p>\n A rematch would likely bring renewed scrutiny from the British Boxing Board of Control because of Chisora\u2019s age and the amount of punishment he has taken late in his career. Even so, his willingness to trade and his pressure style still make him a draw in the UK heavyweight scene.<\/p>\n Chisora says the plan remains unchanged after the rematch.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s it. End of this year, I will retire,\u201d said Derek.<\/p>\n Olly Campbell is a boxing journalist who has covered the sport since 2014, providing ringside reporting and technical analysis of major bouts.
