Popular British slugger veteran Derek Chisora (32-11, 23 KOs) has already signed a contract to fight – he will enter the ring on July 9 in London (England). It is officially confirmed that the fight with him was offered to the Polish pot-bellied Adam Kownacki (20-2, 15 KOs). But his signature on the contract has not yet been signed.

Dan Rafael says that Kownacki was offered a 7-figure fee in US dollars, but he may well refuse. The thing is that the fight with Chisora will have to be held as part of the show from Eddie Hearn (Matchroom Boxing) on the
streaming DAZNand the Pole previously collaborated with Premier Boxing Champions Al Haymon, performed at Showtime and Fox TV channels.
Kownacki’s manager Keith Connolly does business with both platforms, so the final decision will be up to the boxer. Adam can stay loyal to RVS and the next fight (most likely an intermediate one) to be held as part of their show in the summer. “It will be interesting to see what decision he makes,” writes Raphael.
Recently, things have not been going well for Kovnacki: he lost in the WBA eliminator to the Finnish veteran Robert Helenius, who was written off for a long time, and then he also failed to correct the situation in an immediate revenge. Chisora also has two defeats in a row to one boxer, but in his case we are talking about two competitive fights with ex-champion from New Zealand Joseph Parker.
Recently, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury began to tease his compatriot: “Chisora is now a bum.” And an expert from Britain turned to Anthony Joshua: Do you want to beat Usyk? Look up to Chisora!
