Discussing the fight at length with Hearn and Chisora, the talkSPORT host interrupted the conversation to turn attention to the 40-year-old heavyweight following his stunning victory over Joe Joyce at the O2 Arena back in July.
Playfully addressing Davies, Hearn said: “Why are you interrupting Derek? It’s very disrespectful, Gareth!”
“Wait, wait, this is about you,” replied Davies after Chisora briefly grabbed his mic. “What’s next for Derek Chisora, Eddie Hearn?”
Beginning to answer the talkSPORT host’s question, Hearn replied: “Derek’s coming off a big win.
For me, there’s two fights that I particularly like,” before Chisora interrupted saying: “Don’t even mention Johnny Fisher. Don’t disrespect me.”
Hearn replied: “I actually wasn’t going to mention him, but you love something more than anything.”
“Money,” replied Chisora, to which Hearn said: “Exactly.”
Del Boy then said to Hearn: “And you don’t like money?” to which Hearn replied: “I do, that’s why we get on!”
Discussing Chisora’s next fight, Hearn said: “This is what happens when a fighter has earned what Derek has in terms of platform.
“If Frank said to fight Moses (Itauma) – he knows Moses is a good young fighter but the two fights I like for Derek are Jarrell Miller and Dillian Whyte.

“Maybe people want to see Derek Chisora on a 5 vs 5.”
Chisora recently spoke with talkBOXING about the prospect of retiring and hinted at when he will hang up his gloves for good.
“To be honest, I do not know, but I’ve got 50 fights in my head. I have to get to 50.”
When co-host Spencer Oliver asked if he’ll retire after fight no.50, Chisora said: “Yes, I will. 100 per cent, I’m out.”
Chisora has a boxing record of 35 wins and 13 defeats and has challenged for the WBC heavyweight title on two occasions, the most recent coming in 2022 against Tyson Fury.
