Over six years on from their original bout, Derek Chisora once again squares off against the Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev. He comes into the fight off the back of three losses, once against Oleksandr Usyk and twice against New Zealander Joseph Parker.
Chisora's previous encounter with Pulev came in May 2016 at the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany. Pulev's victory came via split decision and won him the then-vacant European heavyweight title.
Warming up with his first fight since his 2020 defeat against Anthony Joshua, Pulev fought just last month, beating Jerry Forrest in a 10-round bout that took place at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.

Eddie Hearn, chairman of the Matchroom Sport promotion, spoke of his delight at "[getting] this fight over the line," saying that "initially, we worked on some other opponents for Derek, but this fight came out of nowhere a few days ago and I absolutely love it! I think the strapline, ‘Total Carnage’, is absolutely perfect for this fight, in terms of the build-up and in terms of the fight itself.
“Expect the unexpected but expect a thriller at The O2 on July 9. Both men have been longstanding fixtures of the World Heavyweight division and it’s all or nothing at The O2 for both, as defeat could lead to the end of the road."
