Derek Chisora names his top 5 active heavyweights

Published

After a run of three straight victories, Derek Chisora is ranked as the number two heavyweight contender with the IBF. Now, ‘Del Boy’ has named whom he believes to be the top five active fighters in his division.

Chisora was encouraged to retire by the masses when he failed in a second world title challenge of his career against Tyson Fury back in 2022.

However, the heavyweight veteran has since proved his doubters wrong, overcoming each of Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin to fight his way back into title contention.

Although, despite his ranking, 43-year-old Chisora has vowed that his showdown with Deontay Wilder next weekend will be his last, even if victorious, as he hangs up the gloves after professional bout number 50.

Still, for Wilder, the clash represents a monumental opportunity for him to re-emerge as a threat to the heavyweight ranking and take Chisora’s place in the world ratings, with victory likely to tee up a world title shot, despite losing four of his last six contests.

Irrespective of the ill-form of ‘The Bronze Bomber’, Chisora told DAZN Boxing that the American is still amongst the top five active heavyweights in the sport, when listing the division’s best operators.

“My top five heavyweights in the world right now are Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and myself.”

Unified champion Usyk remains the king of the division, and the despite Fury and Joshua having mixed form in recent years, they still find a place in Chisora’s list, with the likes of Fabio Wardley, Agit Kabayel and Moses Itauma all omitted – the veteran Brit appears to favour longevity over current form.

Chisora’s clash against Wilder takes place at the O2 Arena on Saturday, April 4, topping a bill that also features an intriguing scrap between Viddal Riley and Mateusz Masternak.

Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al-Nassr could potentially be dealt a massive blow as Sadio Mane could leave the club in the summer transfer window. Turkish giants Besiktas have reportedly submitted an official offer to sign the Senegal international and are aiming to finalize the deal in the coming weeks.

Mane chose to leave Bayern Munich and sign for the Knights of Najd in the summer of 2023 on a three-year deal. The 33-year-old has established a lethal connection with Cristiano Ronaldo and his other teammates up front, consistently featuring on the scoresheet.

However, Al-Nassr are now facing a future without the former Liverpool superstar, as Besiktas are allegedly keen on signing Mane to bolster their status in Europe. Following two unsuccessful attempts to sign him over the past year, Turkish news outlet Sporx stated (via World Soccer Talk):

“Besiktas has made an official offer to sign Senegalese forward Sadio Mane from Al-Nassr during the summer transfer window, and the club is looking to negotiate with the player to finalise the deal in the coming period.”

Mane has excelled for the Saudi Pro League giants over the past three seasons, scoring 47 goals and providing 32 assists in 119 appearances across all competitions.

“I’ve never seen another player like him” – When Sadio Mane hailed Cristiano Ronaldo’s impact at Al-Nassr

Al-Nassr winger Sadio Mane once waxed lyrical about Cristiano Ronaldo’s impact at the club, crediting the Portugal ace for his fitness, work ethic, impact, and mentality. Mane also stated that he has yet to see any other footballer match Ronaldo’s professionalism, with the latter still going strong despite being at the age of 41.

After playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo for over two years, Mane spoke with Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand in November 2025 and said (via beIN Sports):

“He’s an example for any footballer. I’ve never seen another player like him. He works hard every single day, he wants to win always, even at 40. He’s a complete athlete. His impact is exceptional. His mentality and passion for football have no comparison.”

Cristiano Ronaldo has shown no signs of slowing down at Al-Nassr and has bagged 22 goals and four assists in 26 appearances across all competitions this season. He is currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury, but will be aiming to return for their upcoming fixture against Al-Najma on April 3.
