Chisora, who has a 32-12 record, told iFL TV: “Some people say no, some people say yes but it’s up to me.

“I say yes. If it’s good fight we want to make it happen. We want to make good fights happen.”

He added to TalkSport “I think we’ve both come out of two losses, back-to-back.

“I think why not? People are saying, ‘Why does he want to do that for?’

“They’re not me. People are not built like me.

“The thing is, I will be honest with you, I want to fight everybody.

“When I hang it up I can say I fought everybody in my era and enjoyed it.

“I loved it, that’s what I want to do. I don’t want to duck and dive and suddenly at the end of my career saying ‘I wish I’d fought this guy’.

“No, I want to fight everybody right now. I want to go for it 100 per cent. Yes, I will beat him.”
