LONDON: British heavyweight Derek Chisora has hinted at a return to boxing despite planning to retire after his loss to Deontay Wilder.

Chisora, 42, suffered a points defeat by Wilder in a wild heavyweight contest last Saturday, with the Brit dropped in the eighth round and sent through the ropes.

Before the bout, Chisora said it would be his final fight – however, he hesitated to confirm this decision in the ring afterwards.

Now, Chisora is pushing for a rematch, saying he was “upset” with the decision.

“I’m very upset with the scoring,” Chisora told TalkSport before Tyson Fury’s return to the ring against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

“The two knockdowns that were given were pushes. It was an embarrassment. I’m not happy with that.

“The whole thing was a shambles, on my side and his side as well.

“I want to get the rematch.”

Chisora went on to confirm that he is only interested in a rematch with his most recent rival.

Remarkably, that fight was the 50th bout of both men’s careers.

It was a 14th career defeat for Chisora, and marked a 45th career win for Wilder.

Having made his professional debut in February 2007, Chisora was handed his first career loss by Fury in July 2011 – and has gone on to lose to his British rival another two times.

With 23 career knockouts, Chisora is also a two-time world title challenger, and has shared a ring with the likes of Vitali Klitschko, David Haye and Oleksandr Usyk.

Chisora wore a T-shirt to Fury v Makhmudov with a strongly-worded slogan that also suggested he would not be retiring.
