Derek Chisora could face Zhilei Zhang in farewell fight as Chinese heavyweight has accepted terms for December clash | Boxing News

Zhilei Zhang is awaiting the final decision on a potential fight against Derek Chisora.

The Chinese heavyweight boxer has accepted initial terms for the Chisora ​​fight, which is expected to take place on December 13, and Zhang is hoping for a conclusive update this week.

Chisora ​​has been weighing options for his 50th professional bout, billed as a farewell fight, and ‘Big Bang’ Chang has welcomed a fight against the 41-year-old Briton.

Last week, Chisora ​​teased three other rivals on social media: Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte and finally Jarrell Miller, who he was scheduled to face in February before being replaced by Otto Wallin.

Zhang showed his mettle in two knockout wins over Joe Joyce, while also delivering a devastating stoppage of Deontay Wilder, before his world title quest was halted by a shock stoppage loss to Ajit Kapayel in February.

Chisora ​​has revamped his career with four wins in his last five fights, including impressive victories over rival contenders Joyce and Wallen.

His last fight, a points win over Wallin, was billed as an IBF eliminator, but Chisora ​​was unable to capture the title, and Daniel Dubois is now scheduled to face Frank Sanchez in a bout to determine the IBF mandatory challenger.

But a strong showdown with Zhang would provide a fan-friendly fight as Chisora ​​plots the concluding chapter of his eventful career.
