The promoter wants Chisora-Wilder to be at stake for the world title
With Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder set to share the ring in both of their 50th fights respectively, Kalle Sauerland has called for a world title to be on the line.
Wilder once ruled the heavyweight division for many years, and Chisora fought for the title numerous times.
The fight between “Del Boy” and “The Bronze Bomber” is something of a turning point in both fighters’ careers.
Chisora stated this though He will end his sports career on April 4.
However, in Wilder’s case, his eyes are set on the final path to becoming world champion.
Promoter Kalle Sauerland called for the title to be on the line in this fight. He talked to Sky Sports Boxing.
“Given Chisora’s current position at the very top of the heavyweight rankings, as well as Wilder’s position, and the high-profile nature of this fight, the opportunity to fight for the belt would be an incredible addition for them.”
He actually called up two-time world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, who he believes holds the belt.
“The Cat” is set to return to the ring against former kickboxing world champion Rico Verhoeven.
Interestingly, the fight will take place in the Pyramids of Giza, and the title of WBC Ukrainian world champion will be at stake.
Sauerland demanded to have the IBF belt.
“Oleksandr Usyk did not have a single IBF mandatory defense during his tenure as IBF heavyweight champion.
“This is boxing policy. We will talk to the IBF to see if there is anything that can resolve the situation and we will lobby for such a move.”
Usyk regained his IBF world title just a year ago in July when he stopped Daniel Dubois for a second time.
Sauerland, who held the belt for just seven months, may find it complex to force him to vacate the belt or step aside.
A fight with Usyk for the winner may be possible, but an immediate world title fight in April seems unlikely.

Undisputed three-weight world champion Terence Crawford accused Jake Paul of writing a script for his fight with Mike Tyson.
Crawford summarized the Paul-Tyson fight.
“The Problem Child” fought Tyson in 2024 at AT&T Stadium in Texas.
The event aired live on Netflix during the historic night.
“Bud” recently appeared in The Joe Rogan experience and discussed the fight, claiming the former world heavyweight champion was forced to hold back.
“I think so [Paul vs Tyson] was written. I never saw Tyson bite his gloves and he had to do everything in his power not to hit him.
“It’s painful to see an icon continue in this condition.”
Tyson once ruled the heavyweight division. At the age of 20, he became the youngest heavyweight champion in history, defeating Trevor Berbick in the second round.
“Iron Mike” went down in history as one of the most recognizable and at the same time threatening players in the history of the sport.
His return at the age of 59 came as a shock to many, especially after the first fight with Paul was postponed due to “life-threatening” health complications Tyson experienced in the months before the fight.
Crawford continued and discussed the financial side of the competition.
“He shouldn’t have been there at all. There are other ways [to make money]”
There are rumors that Tyson pocketed a hefty sum of $20,000,000 and Paul received double the amount of $40,000,000, according to Sports News.
Crawford recently retired with an astonishing record of 42 fights and 42 wins, 31 of which came after a stoppage.
“Bud” ended his career with the best possible fight of his career against Canelo Alvarez. The event was also streamed live on Netflix.
He dominated throughout the 12-round fight, despite moving up two weight classes, to become the undisputed world champion in five weight classes and the undisputed world champion in three weight classes.
Crawford talked about a potential fight with Paul himself when he appeared on the show Club Shay Shay Podcast already in April last year. He initially ended the fight with Paul.
“No, (I wouldn’t fight Jake Paul). Yes, Jake is gigantic, but he does his thing, let Jake do what Jake does.”
Crawford jokingly changed his mind when he heard what the stakes might be for fighting Paul.
“I’m fighting Jake Paul. I’m gonna fight Jake Paul, come on Jake. Hey, Logan (Paul) I gotta fight your brother, man.”

Devin Haney was recently called out on social media by the former UFC champion ahead of a potential rematch with Ryan Garcia later in the year.
Garcia and Haney fought for the first time in 2024, with “King Ry” getting the nod the night before the result was overturned after Garcia failed a drug test.
Over the past two years, many have called for a rematch and it seems closer than ever.
After defeating Mario Barrios, Garcia becomes the WBC welterweight champion.
Before the fight with “El Azteca”, “King Ry” was on the wrong side after losing points to Rolando Romero.
Haney is also in good form after the first meeting.
“The Dream” won both of his rematches, first returning against Jose Ramirez on the Garcia vs. Romero card.
He recently dethroned WBO world champion Brian Norman Jr., which was an impressive performance.
Despite both holding welterweight world titles, Haney revealed to Inside The Ring that he still has some reservations about a rematch with Garcia.
“I agree he has 10 million followers and that’s good.
“But ultimately Ryan screwed up the first fight.
“He basically just won the whole fight, he acted like he was crazy.
“So can we really trust this guy not to do it again?”
Former UFC world champion and Conor McGregor opponent Nate Diaz commented on the podcast moment, making it clear he disagreed with Haney.
“He scared the f**k out of you and kicked your ass.

“What are you crying about?”
Haney revealed that he is close to taking on the current world champion and the man who defeated Garcia, official Rolando Romero.
He first announced the ongoing negotiations in a post shared on his X profile.
“My father talked to Luis (Rolly’s manager). The rumors are true… Let’s see if we can do it, inshallah.”
Garcia’s next step remains unknown, but if he is to fight before his rematch with Haney, the two names he continues to mention are Shakur Stevenson and fresh Zuffa Boxing fighter Conor Benn.
