The IBF will order Daniel Dubois to make a mandatory of defense of his heavyweight title against Derek Chisora.

Dubois stopped Anthony Joshua in his last fight in the first defense of his title. He had been chasing the Usyk fight, but the WBO has ordered the Ukrainian to face his WBO mandatory Joseph Parker. Chisora earned the title shot after beating Otto Wallin in his last fight to become the interim champion. It was another impressive win following his victory against Joe Joyce in the fight before.

Chisora has previously said that he will retire after his 50th fight, meaning he has one more to go before he walks away from the sport. Frank Warren recently confirmed that he is working with Eddie Hearn to get Chisora the biggest fight. Chisora has called out Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk and Dubois. The IBF has confirmed that Chisora is on course to getting a title shot.

“Derek Chisora is the mandatory challenger for Daniel Dubois but the mandatory bout is due to be ordered on April 22. There is not enough time for an eliminator since Dubois’ mandatory is due on June 21,” IBF said
