DEREK CHISORA is returning to heavyweight action next month against old foe Kubrat Pulev.
The 38-year-old last fought back in December, losing by unanimous decision to Joseph Parker – which was his third loss in a row.
Pulev's last relevant bout was against Anthony Joshua in December 2020 but it ended in a 9th-round stoppage loss for the Bulgarian.
Chisora fought Pulev in 2016 but came out narrowly on the losing on a split decision in Germany.
Del Boy has been in the ring for 15 fights since then, while Pulev has fought just seven times since.
And against Chisora, the former title challenger will have his hands full as the two fighters prepare to clash in London.
