Chisora and Olubamiwo return following defeats

Former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora is set to climb back in the ring on November 5th to face Larry Olubamiwo after losing his titles to Tyson Fury last July.

The 27 year-old lost his unbeaten record as well as his title belts at Wembley in the summer and now returns to same venue to get his career back on track following twelve months of disappointments.

The Finchley man missed out on two shots at world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in December and April before the defeat to Fury blew any chance of a bout with the Ukrainian out of the water and the Londoner is now set to begin his rebuild against ‘Big Larry.’

Olubamiwo, 32, suffered a crushing first round defeat to John McDermott in his previous outing in February and faces a tough return against the former British number one.
