Dereck Chisora will challenge Wladimir Klitschko for his IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight belts Saturday, Dec 11, in Mannheim, southwestern Germany, while Haye has pulled out of offers to fight either Wladimir or his older brother Vitali, the WBC champion.
Chisora has only 14 fights behind him, all wins. Chisora thanked the Klitschko clan for giving his the opportunity to fight for the title. But at the same time, he insulted Klitschko’s trainer, Emanuel Steward, and later went on a long tirade about which of the two fighters had the prettier girlfriend.
Chisora gives up 5½ inches to the 6-foot-6 Klitschko and is seven years younger than the 34-year-old Ukrainian, Steward said Klitschko had been upset by Chisora’s “disrespectful” prefight rhetoric, but talking about his girlfriend will give Wladimir another reason to kick his ass.
