EBU heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora (20-4, 13KOs) has asked his promoter, Frank Warren to get him a fight with former WBA "regular" champion Alexander Povetkin (26-1, 18KOs). Chisora wants to give Povetkin the homefield advantage by taking the fight in Moscow, Russia.
Povetkin has not fought since last October when he suffered a twelve round unanimous decision to WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO champion Wladimir Klitschko. Povetkin's return is being discussed for a date in April or May.
"I want to go to Moscow and have a big fight. I want to get Alexander Povetkin. I want to get that fight. Then in the summer I can have the rematch with Tyson Fury," Chisora said.
