Derek Chisora makes a bold vow on how long Deontay Wilder fight will go
BUY HERE: Chisora vs. Wilder DAZN PPV - Saturday
Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder don't like going to the judges' scorecards. They are there to throw bombs to try and knock their opponents out and make sure the fans are on their feet and buzzing walking out of the arena.
Out of Chisora's 36 wins, 23 have come by knockout. For Wilder, out of his 44 wins, 43 have come by KO. Both guys promise to do their best to live up to their respective fighting styles when they battle on Saturday from the O2 Arena in London, live and exclusively on DAZN PPV.
The heavyweight legends conducted their final press conference on Thursday from the famed York Hall. Host of the presser, Adam Smith, asked Chisora for a response to Wilder saying that he'd take the Brit's heart. As he was going, a light flipped in Chisora's head and proclaimed how he wanted the fight to go.
"We might not even see round two," Chisora boldly said. "Because the way I’m thinking right now, I’m so fit and I’m so ready for this fight, we might not even see round two. I might say, ‘You know what? F—k it, let's go.’
"I hope he’s ready. Because I might just say, ‘Let’s go for this s—’. F—k it, I am going to do that. F—k it, let’s go. That’s it."
For Chisora (36-23, 23 KOs), this will be the 50th and final fight of his storied career. Maybe he finishes the former WBC heavyweight champion in one round. Maybe he doesn't. All Chisora knows is that this fight isn't going to go 36 minutes.
"Deontay Wilder, great power. Great, great power," Chisora admits. "But I can guarantee you that you won’t be sitting down. You will be standing up because I’m starting so fast that this fight will not make 12 rounds. I hope Zeus (Wilder’s mouthpiece brand) helps him out or whatever he’s got to help his energy, because I know what energy I need. I need that crazy energy. I don’t need Zeus or anybody. I need war and pain."
