Via Barry Holbrook: Dereck Chisora says he’ll bring “War” this Saturday night to treat fans to his rematch with Joseph Parker LIVE on DAZN at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.
Chisora (32-11, 23 KOs) is being given a second chance by former WBO heavyweight champion Parker (29-2, 21 KOs) after losing to him in 12 decisive rounds in May. last year.
Dereck felt he should have been awarded the win, but the umpires noted how tired Chisora was and how Parker made better shots with his combo punch.
Chisora said Parker should have continued
“I don’t think they want me to rematch. They’re just talking to the guys in the ring and then straight up saying, ‘I want a rematch,’ Dereck Chisora told Matchroom Boxing of what Joseph Parker had to say after their fight last month. 5 years ago.
“If I were him, I wouldn’t have accepted the rematch. I moved on,” Chisora said.
Parker was likely enticed by the idea of getting a day’s pay in a fight he felt confident would win. If Parker goes on, he will have to face a more adventurous opponent.
So even if Parker can make more money against another competitor, it’s not a good thing for him to lose.
Dereck denies his loss
“I’m 100% sure I won the war, but I don’t know,” Chisora said. “Different judges score it differently. I don’t know what they’re recording it for. Are we scoring the pressure boxer and getting the fight going? What are we scoring for?
“You can always say a war someone wants to fight. He may tell himself he wants to fight, but the truth is he doesn’t want to be there. Even the old school fights say, ‘Stay away from the Southpaws.’
“In this game, you have to fight anyone in front of you. You will see a bit of a disturbance just like Muhammad Ali. I’ll close the box,” Chisora said.
This writer let Chisora lose his fight with Parker because he let off steam early in the competition and looked a scary sight.
You can’t help boxers win when they’re exhausted and moving around the ring throwing weak shots.
“14 years? I can’t get enough of it,” Chisora said when he said he’s been a professional player for 14 years. “You hear people say they give up boxing because they’ve had enough of it. .
“They don’t want to train anymore, and training becomes difficult for them. When you talk to them, and they get tired, they say, ‘I can’t do it anymore.’ They are not built like me.
“And when the time comes, and the job is done, my wife will tell me. When she tells me that, I’ll let you know. As for me, I’m just enjoying it. I’m not chasing anything,” Chisora said.
Dereck will bring WAR on Saturday
The last time Chisora fought Parker, he brought the war, but his stamina greatly let him down in the fight. Chisora only seemed to train hard enough to fight at a steady pace for three rounds.
When Chisora lacked in the first inning of the bout, Parker’s former WBO heavyweight champion allowed him to continue the competition and stay ahead of the scoreboard.
“My ambition in the ring is to give the fans what they want. Give my payments managers what they want,” said Chisora. “They want to see war. It will be like Dillian Whyte’s first fight in Manchester. That’s what I’m delivering,” said Chisora.
It’s a good idea for Chisora to take on the 29-year-old Parker as his chances of winning a boxing match are slim. Parker has better boxing skills and size.
Although Parker scores a lot of kills, his game is designed around taking down opponents.
“Joseph Parker is a rat. He needs to get ready. We know exactly what he’s going to do. He’ll try to weather the storm for six laps and then move on.
“I’m pursuing the happiness of training and fighting with other fighters,” Chisora said. “I think every war is important. Friends lose and friends win.
“In life, people say, ‘If you lose this war, you’re gone. You know how long I’ve heard that. I lost 10 times in matches, and I always go back to ideas,” said Chisora.
