British heavyweight Derek Chisora has hinted at a return to boxing despite planning to retire after his loss to Deontay Wilder.<\/b><\/p>\n

Chisora, 42, suffered a points defeat by Wilder in a wild heavyweight contest last Saturday, with the Brit dropped in the eighth round and sent through the ropes.<\/p>\n

Before the bout, Chisora said it would be his final fight – however, he hesitated to confirm this decision in the ring afterwards.<\/p>\n

Now, Chisora is pushing for a rematch, saying he was “upset” with the decision.<\/p>\n

“I’m very upset with the scoring,” Chisora told TalkSport before Tyson Fury’s return to the ring against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“The two knockdowns that were given were pushes. It was an embarrassment. I’m not happy with that.<\/p>\n

“The whole thing was a shambles, on my side and his side as well.<\/p>\n

“I want to get the rematch.”<\/p>\n

Chisora went on to confirm that he is only interested in a rematch with his most recent rival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
