Derek Chisora Opens Up on Using Medicinal Cannabis for Chronic Pain After 20 Years in Boxing

British heavyweight veteran Derek Chisora has revealed he uses prescribed medical cannabis to manage chronic pain after a two-decade boxing career. At 42, he says years of punishing fights have left him struggling with pain from his knees to his hands. He launched WarOnPain, a new platform to help people navigate the UK’s legal medical cannabis system. “People see the knockouts, but they don’t see the years of recovery and pain you live with every day,” he explained. Chisora’s treatment uses a 10-gram dose pouch of dry cannabis flower with 27% THC, vaporised under the guidance of a specialist clinician. He hopes to support former athletes, veterans and others quietly battling physical and mental health challenges.
