      by

      DEREK Chisora is a British professional boxer who has been in the game for over 15 years, during which time he has amassed an impressive fortune.Being well respected for never ducking a fight, Chisora has battled the best, and although he’s won a lot more than he’s lost, his record reflects this bravery.

      Who is Derek Chisora?
      Derek Chisora was born in Mbare, a suburb of Harare, the Zimbabwe capital city, on December 29 1983.
      In 1999, Chisora’s family moved to Finchley, London. In 2002, he was involved in a street fight and was arrested for assault after knocking a victim’s teeth out.
      His parole officer advised him to take up boxing. He was trained on the fundamentals by Joe Smyth and turned pro in 2007.
      What is Derek Chisora’s boxing record?
      At present Chisora’s impressive record stands at 33 wins, 13 losses and 0 draws.

      During those 33 wins Derek has stopped 23 of his opponents, so his current knock-out ratio is 70%.
      In his 13 losses, he’s been stopped 4 times.
      He’s boxed a total of 314 rounds, meaning his professional fights last 6.8 rounds on average.
      What is Derek Chisora’s net worth?
      Boxing is big business and Del Boy has certainly earned his money over the past few years.
      Chisora, 39, still harbours world title hopes and has fought 42 times as a professional, winning 32 of those bouts.
      Never one to back down from a challenge, he’s faced – and beaten – some of the biggest names in boxing over the past decade.
      Chisora has gone up against Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte, Vitali Klitschko, Carlos Takam and David Haye since 2011 – and has earnt well in the process.
      And he has proved that he has still got it after convincingly beating Kubrat Pulev in their gruelling grudge match.
      He told the Telegraph: “The pay cheques grow very fast.
      “So from £5,000 to £20,000, then £80,000 to £100,000 and then £200,000, then £500,000 then £900,000 then £1.5m.
      “It keeps going up but sometimes there can be a title fight and there will be no money involved.
      “I know guys that are fighting to defend their titles and they’re getting paid about £50,000.
      “But you can make more money in the heavyweight game than you ever make in any other sport.”
      The biggest fight purses so far in his career have come against Oleksandr Usyk, where Del Boy pocketed a cool £4.4million, and his trilogy fight with Tyson Fury, where he took home £4.5million.
      As of summer 2023, Chisora’s net worth is estimated to be around £12m.
      Is Derek Chisora married and does he have any children?
      Derek Chisora is married to his longtime partner Emily Eringer.

      The two got together in 2012, but it is not clear when the couple tied the knot, and very little is known about Chisora’s wife.
      Derek and Emily are the proud parents of two daughters, Angelina and Harare.
