Via Barry Holbrook: Derek Chisora says he wants a fight with the next WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder if he chooses not to go head to head with him.
The Chisora Journeyman (33-12, 23 KOs) believes that “bigger” The match is now ready for him following his decisive 12-round win over 41-year-old Kubrat Pulev on July 9.
It’s no second-hand for the 15-year professional Chisora, but he scored the winning streak with the following scores: 116-114, 116-112 for Chisor, and 116-112 for Pulev.
Chisora should be realistic with herself and not have crazy ideas about whether Fury or Wilder is looking this way to fight. Even if they wanted to, their management and the networks they fight with would dismiss the idea because it wouldn’t sell.
The networks won’t be pleased to see Wilder or Fury fight an aging journeyman like Chisora as fans won’t want to see it in large numbers.
It’s unlikely that former WBC champion Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) will pick Chisora if he returns to the ring because there are PBC heavyweights his management will. looking to match him.
Why do they want to help Matchroom Boxing by throwing a bone at Chisora, 38, who looks terrible against Pulev (29-3, 14 KOs). It’s a case of Pulev being washed more than Chisora, and in the end, it’s a fight that can go both ways.
“I don’t know of any referee who has judged it. Gave it 12 something. I don’t know what the hell he scored,” Derek Chisora told iFL TV about one point above the judges’ scores for his recent win over 41-year-old Kubrat Pulev on July 9.
“I’m used to those numbers. Shout out to Pulev. It was a great fight. Everyone loves it. So the bigger ones are coming now. Listen, Frank Warren and his team, Gypsy King and his team, just tell me when and what time, where, and I’m there,” Chisora said when told that Tyson Fury presented expressed interest in wanting to fight him.
“I want to fight. It’s not what I want. I want to fight. If you’re a fighter, you’re everyone out there. I want to fight, and that’s it. I get it. Countless people say to me, ‘He should come out with a big win; you should retire.’ I want to fight; I love to fight.
“It’s just work. It’s going to be a great fight,” Chisora said of the surprising fact that Fury is expressing interest in a rematch with him. “Great respect for Tyson and his family. If he wants to fight, we will fight. If he doesn’t, I want Deontay Wilder.
“Don’t watch it,” Chisora said, saying that a lot of boxing fans don’t want him to fight Deontay. “Because they’re the failures in their lives,” Derek says of why people don’t want him to fight Wilder.
“They fail every time they jump the hurdles, so they always give up. They would rather live easily, wait to die. I don’t want to do that. I want the hard things in life. I want to go and prove myself something.
“I wanted to go out there and explore the world, but they didn’t. People who say such things look at their lives. Look at what they do and the comments around your blog.
“Ask, ‘First, what do you do for a living?’ They can’t walk in my shoes. That’s why they take the easy road. They would rather marry the easy option than choose the hard one.
“Look at them,” Chisora said as he told coaches Ben Davison and Dave Coldwell believed he shouldn’t have fought Wilder. “Ben Davison, he just became a great coach because of Tyson Fury.
“Dave Coldwell, he lives in Sheffield, man. That’s all I have to tell you. Look at those people’s lives compared to mine. I want to fight.
“Listen, I want to fight everyone. #3 with Dillian [Whyte], I will do it. If I had to fight Deontay Wilder, I would. If I have to fight Tyson Fury, I will. I want to fight anyone. “That’s bad,” Chisora said when asked if retirement was completely out of the question.
