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.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
