It&#8217;s one of those things where he ain&#8217;t going to win the fight, so why [talk about future fights]? It&#8217;s a bow down for both of us, but he&#8217;s in denial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chisora also told Queensberry Promotions: &#8220;I am not coming back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will tell you why, because I don&#8217;t have any more training camps in me. That is God&#8217;s honest truth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It happened at the Otto Wallin fight. The training camps became harder.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got in the ice bath in the morning, I go in the evening, so I can sort my body out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wilder, meanwhile, has his sights set on a future showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Usyk] can happen and it will happen,\u201d the 40-year-old told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as I have the confidence to do what I have to do, it will happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless he retires and if so that&#8217;s fine with me. I must accomplish what I set forth in the beginning of my career\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnifying the division would be an overwhelming feeling for me. That&#8217;s something that I never had the opportunity to have.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What have Chisora and Wilder said about retiring?
