Chisora Calls for Wilder Fight as Frank Warren Plays It Down

By Tom Galm - 01/24/2026 - Comments

Derek Chisora pushed the Deontay Wilder fight into public view by posting a contract-signing clip aimed directly at Wilder and stamped with one destination: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fight number 50, placed exactly where Chisora wants it.

The clip shows Chisora signing paperwork while talking on the phone.  He tags Wilder, promoter Kalle Sauerland, and KSI but not Frank Warren. The tone is deliberate. This is a signal that Chisora is ready and waiting.

Frank Warren will shut it down quickly

Chisora says he is free. Warren says otherwise

Speaking with  talkSPORT,  Chisora claimed he is no longer tied to Queensberry.“

I’m not with Queensberry anymore. The contract I had with Queensberry expired two months after my fight with Otto Wallin. The reason why we didn’t fight in December is I didn’t get a good contract. So right now I’m just waiting on getting a good contract, a good number, and I’ll fight,” he said.

Frank Warren responded by rejecting that version entirely. Asked about reports of Chisora against Wilder, Warren was direct when speaking to IFL TV. “Well, he has a contract with us,” Warren said. Pressed again, the answer did not change. “We deal with facts, and the facts are that he has a contract with us.”

If Queensberry still holds contractual control, no public post overrides it. Any fight, at any venue, runs through Warren.

Why Tottenham keeps coming up

Chisora has pushed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for years. He trusts how heavyweight fights play out there. Big space. Loud crowd. Pressure builds as rounds drag on and legs slow. When Wilder’s name surfaces, Tottenham follows for a reason.

UK talk has centered on April, with London in play. Sky Sports has been mentioned, though nothing is agreed. Warren’s position narrows the path. There is only one lane forward, and it runs through Queensberry.

Chisora is 42, with a 36-13 record and 23 knockouts. This is no longer about titles. It is about money, scale, and one last large stage. He presses behind a high guard, leans into the clinch, and works the body until fights turn physical.

Wilder stands at 44-4-1 with 43 knockouts. The right hand remains the danger. What he has not answered lately is pace, balance, and whether he can hold form when forced to fight every second of every round. That is where Chisora would try to drag him.

Fight number 50 is still possible. Tottenham remains the target.

Nothing moves unless Queensberry signs off
