The official record holder
Derek Chisora has gone back on his vow to retire and insists he will return for a rematch with Deontay Wilder.
Chisora was defeated by a split decision by Wilder last month at the O2 Arena.
The 42-year-old, who has fallen twice in the fight, previously announced he would end his 50-fight professional career regardless of the outcome.
However, the Londoner now claims he wants to secure a rematch with the ‘Brown Bomber’ after his wife allowed him to continue fighting.
“I’m working on a rematch,” he said Sky Sports News.
“My wife gave me the green featherlight, so I will do a rematch.
“I haven’t confirmed it yet.
“I have some meetings tomorrow [on Wednesday] and we’ll see how it goes.

“He [Wilder] he is interested because he is also upset about the outcome.
“Yes, he could have won, but he’s nervous, so we’re going to do it again.
“That’s all. [At the] I will retire at the end of this year.”
Wilder was hoping to secure a long-awaited fight against Anthony Joshua, whom he called out after defeating Chisora.
40-year-old former world heavyweight champion passed by “AJ” after the fight and told him: “let’s do it.”
However, Joshua, who has not fought since knocking out Jake Paul in December, has opted to fight Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyad and will then face Tyson Fury in November, provided he wins.
Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel stated that Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn had not contacted them.
“You can’t be disappointed with something that never happened,” Finkel said Heavenly sports.
“Eddie never contacted us and Joshua obviously had no intention of fighting Deontay Wilder.
“Same ancient story, just fresh date.”
Joshua’s fight against Prenga is his first since defeating Paul and a fatal car crash that killed two of his close friends and left him with minor injuries.
Fury, who retired last month and defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov, is now also expected to fight again before finally facing his British rival.

On Friday in Germany, Karen Chukhadzhian will face Paddy Donovan in the final eliminator of the IBF welterweight title.
Chukhadzyan (26-3, 14 KO) will face Donovan (14-2, 11 KO) at SAP-Arena in Manheim.
Chukhadzhian is hoping to take the next step in his fight for the IBF crown after previously failing to do so Jaron Ennis.
The Ukrainian has since won twice, capturing the IBF International and WBO International welterweight titles.
Donovan also sees another crack in the IBF belt after losing a split decision to Lewis Crocker in September.
The 27-year-old Irishman suffered a second straight defeat to Crocker after a controversial disqualification six months earlier.
