Dereck Chisora eyes February return

British heavyweight Dereck Chisora has rubbished retirement rumours and insisted that he expects to return to the ring in the New Year.

Chisora last fought in July when he was stopped in five rounds by David Haye at Upton Park in a domestic grudge match.

The former British champion also revealed that he is aiming to get his BBBofC licence back by undertaking an anger management course.

He told Boxing News Online: "I haven't retired, I'll be back, don't worry about that.

"I've been busy training hard and everything is looking good. I'm looking at something early next year. Tell everyone I'll be back in early February and it's going to be explosive.

"My team are discussing me doing some anger management courses, I just want to prove a few things."

The 28-year-old could prove an attractive proposition for current British and Commonwealth champion David Price, who will defend his titles against Matt Skelton next weekend.
