Derek Chisora, a 42-year-old British boxer, announced at a news conference that he will fight Murat Gassiev in December, despite losing to Deontay Wilder earlier this year and being billed as having his last fight. Chisora plans to defend two belts—likely the IBA and one of Gassiev's—though Gassiev's status as WBA 'super' champion is uncertain due to conflicting reports about an upcoming Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua match for that title.

Story summary
Derek Chisora, a 42-year-old Briton, announced in December that he will continue his professional boxing career despite previously declaring his April fight against Deontay Wilder would be his last. During a news conference hosted by the International Boxing Association (IBA), which lost its amateur governing status to the AIBA, Chisora confirmed plans for an upcoming fight with Murat Gassiev in either London or Manchester. The December bout will feature two belts: one of which is likely to be the IBA belt, and the other could potentially involve a WBA 'super' heavyweight title if Gassiev remains champion. However, there are uncertainties surrounding Gassiev's title status due to plans for Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to compete for it on December 11.
