Tony Bellew has ruled out making a comeback against Derek Chisora.
Last month Chisora defeated Joe Joyce in London and in the aftermath of the fight surprisingly called out his friend and former cruiserweight world champion, Tony Bellew.

The popular heavyweight is eyeing up another two fights in his career to bring him to a total of 50 professional outings in the sport.
But, it’s safe to say Bellew has no interest in taking on Chisora and he told Instant Casino: “He’s been saying to me for years, ‘We are fighting for my last fight, my 50th fight’.
“Me and Derek go back 20 years. Great mates. He just, he’s got this thing in his head that we can have a fight and I’m just like, stop it.
“I’ve missed a couple of FaceTime calls in the last few days. We spoke when I was on holiday.
“I literally woke him up after the Joe Joyce fight at eight in the morning to make sure he was feeling feeling okay, ‘How’s your head, everything okay?’
“And he was okay. He’s all right. So I love Derek Chisora, but nothing is tempting me to fight him.
“Me putting 10 ounce gloves on and hitting Derek Chisora would not end well. It would not end well.”
One fight that could potentially happen for Chisora is a fight with Deontay Wilder. The American has looked poor in his last two outings against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang and a bout with the Brit could be an option before they both hang up the gloves.
