Derek Chisora has branded one heavyweight contest as ‘attempted murder’ due to its apparent one-sided nature.
Derek Chisora is currently eyeing his 50th and final pro fight. Amidst rumors that Chisora will face Joseph Parker for a third time, the British icon was asked not about his own fight, but that of one of his rivals.
Chisora sounded off on the upcoming fight, expressing concern for his rival’s health as he is set to face a scary rising prospect.
‘There is no light at the end of this tunnel’… Derek Chisora scolds Dillian Whyte vs Moses Itauma
It was recently announced that Dillian Whyte will face Moses Itauma on August 16th, with Whyte seemingly recognizing he will never win a world title, and instead chasing a payday against the hungry youngster.
Itauma, meanwhile, comes off of yet another KO win, and is looking for a household name to add to his resume.
Whyte’s former foe, Dave Allen, believes Itauma will KO Whyte in the early rounds. Chisora seems to agree, as he labelled the fight ‘attempted murder’, and said: “We’re just going to decide who’s going to prison when Dillian gets battered badly.”
Chisora continued: “Somebody needs to call the police and get someone arrested for attempted murder, whoever made that fight happen.”
Del Boy revealed he was offered the Itauma fight, but turned it down.
Whyte has beaten Chisora twice in two domestic grudge matches.
Derek Chisora has had two of his best wins in his 40s
Despite his career winding down, Chisora has seen something of an Indian summer as he has secured two career-defining victories in his last two fights, despite being in his 40s now.
Chisora turned pro 18 years ago, and has enjoyed an extensive career, losing only to the best in the sport.
His last two wars have seen him drop and outpoint Joe Joyce, who was attempting to recover his career after back-to-back losses to Zhilei Zhang, and defeat Otto Wallin, who had only lost to Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.
