Derek Chisora makes disturbing claim ahead of Deontay Wilder fight

Derek Chisora weighed in at a career-heavy 19 stone before claiming he is willing to die in the ring when he takes on Deontay Wilder on Saturday night

Derek Chisora insisted he is willing to leave boxing in a COFFIN after his final fight against Deontay Wilder.

Heavyweight Chisora, 42, will retire after taking on Wilder, 40, with each man notching up his half century of professional bouts in London. And the Brit, who last night donned a Tyson Fury mask for his final face-off with his rival, claimed he is willing to sacrifice his life in the ring.

Chisora, who will enjoy a three-stone weight advantage, roared: “He knows what time it is; when I strap up the boots and I strap up the gloves, there is only one thing for it: F*** it, let’s go.

“Theres no point sugarcoating it, I know this is going to be an amazing fight and all I can say is I am willing to die in the ring. He’s been there with Tyson Fury but he hasn’t been there for a while.” Wilder was stopped twice by Fury as his destructive reign as world champion came to an abrupt end.

The American later accused his bitter rival of doctoring his gloves and tonight’s showdown was hit by another row. Wilder was unhappy with the mitts provided and the situation had not been resolved as he and Chisora weighed in.

Wilder said: “It was my issue. I have broken my hands so many times and had so many surgeries. We had an issue with the gloves being too tight on my hands. I just want to be comfortable in the ring and for there to be no excuses.”

Both men have predicted an early night at the O2 Arena. “Derek brings passion but I bring a power that ends blood lines,” Wilder added. “Derek is coming to fight, but I am coming with a detonation. And it is going to end with an explosion.

“I don’t want you guys to be mistaken with us and with the friendship that has been going on. It is going to be live, it is going to be real and I can’t wait for it. And I’m going to tell Derek, I hope he brings his heart because I’m gonna take that too.”

And Chisora said: “We might not even see round two. The way I am feeling right now, I am so fit and I am so ready for this fight it might not see round two. Maybe I might even, so f*** it, let’s go.”
