British boxing fans await the next move by veteran heavyweight Derek Chisora following a second consecutive loss to Joseph Parker at the end of 2021, will the 38-year-old retire or continue fighting?
If Chisora does indeed choose to continue his professional boxing career, one potential future foe could be Hughie Fury, the cousin of the WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
According to Fury's promoter Ben Shalom, a win would prove that Chisora is still an elite heavyweight.
"Hughie is the fight that makes sense for Chisora," Shalom told Sky Sports.
"If Chisora wins, it proves that he is still an elite British heavyweight.
"Chisora lost to Parker. Hughie arguably beat Parker when he was just 23 years old. Chisora is very good and only loses to the elite guys so, for Hughie, it is a good fight.
"The fans want to see this - they love Derek and they want to see Hughie tested.
"We have reached out again to Derek. We want the fight, Hughie wants it, Peter Fury wants it.
"It's an exciting fight for us."
