Former mentor of the ex-contender for the world heavyweight title (over 90.7 kg) British Derek Chisora (33-13, 23 KOs) Dave Caldwell gave
interview for the British media.
A well-known coach in the UK expressed a desire for his former fighter to end his sports career. Caldwell also commented on a possible fight for the title of absolute world champion between the unified champion from Ukraine Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and the WBC title holder Briton Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 23 KOs).
“Given what Derek Chisora is doing in his career, he is in the main fights… Despite the double number of defeats, he is still in the main fights. And he draws attention. I understand that the decision to retire is up to him, but after he made a few million for fighting Fury, would you like to see him say goodbye to boxing?
– I told him after Parker that I want him to end his career. But that’s none of my business. Derek does what he wants. What I wish for his own sake, I would look back and say, “You know what? I have a fucking awesome career! I have a great career. I have brought so much excitement and joy to the British boxing fans. You know what? What I have created, what I have done for my family – now I will go and enjoy it. Thank you very much boxing and see you later. Enough blows to my head.” This is what I would like from him. I saw him say he wants to keep boxing. I hope it’s just adrenaline, pride, reluctance to leave and that sort of thing. But I would like him to finish his career. Because he has nothing more to prove. He doesn’t need it. It’s just a desire to continue, but something needs to be found to replace it.

Fury vs Usyk, how do you see this fight now?
Usyk is an incredible talent. I think he is a brilliant fighter. But it has to be said that Tyson’s size, plus the fact that he’s also great at what he does – skillful, ball-bearing, tough – you could say he has an advantage. But if someone can neutralize this and outbox Fury, then this is Usyk. This is a great fight. This is the fight we want to see. But also Joe Joyce vs Fury is a great fight.
Also Joe Joyce vs Deontay Wilder. One punch puncher against immovable power.
— That’s it. I just want to see Joe in huge fights because he is spectacular. When you look, everything about him is wrong, but he is spectacular, and it works.
