And Chisora has vowed to do everything in his power to ensure the final fight of his long career is for a world title.
When asked if his 50th pro-outing could be a non-title fight, he told The Ring Magazine: “Nah man, I’m 50 and out, definitely.
“I have to, I have to. I can’t keep doing this. I’ve only got one more training camp in me. I
“I’m feeling it now. So my final fight will be for the world title, it’s all or nothing, brother.”
Chisora came up short in his previous attempts to win a world title, the first of which was against Vitali Klitschko in February 2012 and the second against Tyson Fury in December 2022.
Winning a world title in his farewell fight would be a fairytale ending for the Zimbabwean-born Brit.
Although he’d happily settle for just competing for a belt one last time.

Should a fight with Dubois come to fruition, Chisora – who already has a ring walk mapped out – is adamant it would be a stadium sell-out.
He said: “I want to fight Daniel and I know for a fact I can sell out Wembley or Tottenham in that fight.
“I want to give a shout out to the Manchester crowd who came out for my fight against Wallin and thanks to Frank Warren and Queensberry because it was unbelievable.
“It was a great show that ticked every box.
“But I knew what I was doing – it was not going to be the last one in the UK.
“Now I’ve been planning everything for this final fight, the whole music, everything.
“It’s going to be a great show and there are two concepts I’m working on. One is for Wembley and one is for Tottenham.
“Whatever happens, they’re all going to be amazing.
“A Sunday bank holiday this summer is what I want. I think that would f***ing amazing.”
