Derek Chisora vs Kubrat Pulev date and venue confirmed

British boxing legend Derek Chisora will return to the squared circle this summer for a rematch against Kubrat Pulev.

While his record of 32-12 may not immediately jump off of the page, ‘Del Boy’ is still considered to be a pretty notable fan favourite within the context of heavyweight boxing in the United Kingdom. The 38-year-old veteran goes in there with the intention to cause some chaos every single time and even though he’s riding a three-fight losing streak, we imagine there are plenty of fans who will be tuning in to see him square off with Kubrat Pulev for the second time next month.

The contest will take place at the O2 Arena in London, England and will go down on July 9 with Matchroom Boxing promoting the action.

“I’m delighted to get this fight over the line,” said Matchroom Sport’s Eddie Hearn. “Initially we worked on some other opponents for Derek, but this fight came out of nowhere a few days ago and I absolutely love it! I think the strapline, ‘Total Carnage’, is absolutely perfect for this fight, in terms of the build-up and in terms of the fight itself. Expect the unexpected but expect a thriller at The O2 on July 9. Both men have been longstanding fixtures of the World Heavyweight division and it’s all or nothing at The O2 for both, as defeat could lead to the end of the road. Fans can expect a huge undercard and a brilliant main event for another brilliant event live on DAZN.”
