“I think the rematch will be on the cards,” Chisora said during a media scrum this evening. “Right now, Turki Alalshikh said he wants to put it on, and he wants to do something big with the rematch. So, I said, you know what? It’s time for the Saudis to give me some of that money.”
Chisora stopped short of providing a timetable for when a second meeting with Wilder could take place.
“I can’t say I can, but it’s going to be amazing,” Chisora said. “This one will be good.”
Chisora also opened up about the emotional challenge of walking away from the sport.
“Right now I’m retired, but you know, they keep calling me back. No, I’m kidding,” Chisora said. “Listen. Retirement is hard.”
“There are certain things we don’t talk about in life called retirement,” he continued. “You know, people do when you retire, it’s like you go home and you go … it’s hard.”
Although Chisora has insisted that the end of his career is nearing, he admitted that he has not yet decided when that day will come.
“Retirement is coming soon,” he said. “We don’t know when,” says Chisora.
Chisora’s comments represent a notable shift from the messaging surrounding his previous bout, which was promoted as his farewell appearance. While insisting that “retirement is coming soon,” the veteran heavyweight admitted that he doesn’t yet know exactly when that day will arrive.
