Derek Chisora is ready to test himself against Deontay Wilder and believes he has what it takes to beat the heavy-handed American. There were wide concerns for Chisora following his one-sided loss to Joseph Parker in December, but the entertaining Londoner has ruled out retirement and is still targeting the most dangerous names in the heavyweight division.
Wilder, coming off back-to-back stoppage losses against Tyson Fury, has not revealed his intentions moving forward but Chisora has made a point of being willing to face the 2008 Olympic bronze medallist. With both men looking to bounce back from tough setbacks, Chisora believes the fight makes sense and is confident of victory.
“I think we’ve both come out of two losses, why not?” said Chisora to Talksport when asked about facing Wilder.
“The thing is, I will be honest with you, I want to fight everybody. When I hang it up, I can say I fought everybody in my era and enjoyed it. I loved it, that’s what I want to do.”
“I don’t want to duck and dive and suddenly at the end of my career saying, ‘I wish I’d fought this guy.’ No, I want to fight everybody right now. I want to go for it 100 per cent. Yes, I will beat him.”
