Derek Chisora shocked the crowd at the weigh in today looking in the best shape of his career ever. The difference between today and the past was clear. David Haye’s addition to Chisora’s team must have made a clear difference because never before has Chisora looked so trim. The pair had to be separated a few times as tempers went wild, at one point involving Whyte’s brother, Dean Whyte.
It has been a long time there has been so much expectation for a none title fight on British soil, but this fight has generated so much interest. The two men look in great shape and are ready for war. The atmosphere at the weigh in was just a taste of the greater atmosphere that will be in the fight. Dillian Whyte has so much to loose if this fight doesn’t go his way, he knows too well that he must win this fight which will be very tough. Chisora has already lost about half a dozen fights, he has less to loose, but a lot to gain. A crack at Anthony Joshua’s title and the mega money that comes with it will be enough motivation for this man.
Boxing fans are really looking forward this fight because they know it will be action packed from the very first bell until the last bell. The steps Chisora has taken to get in good shape says a lot in itself. Today he came wearing shorts that read; ‘ Dillian Whyte’ suck my”, leaving the rest for people to figure out. This kind of language is bad and should be frowned upon. Chisora needs to learn that there there is a standard of conduct he must maintain if he wants to be viewed positively. Boxing fans are more interested in what will happen in the fight, and many fans are rooting for Chisora to pull off the win , but Dillian Whyte is favourite to win.
Whyte came in at 246 1/2 pounds, four ounces heavier than Chisora. He is ready for business, and Chisora never disappoints when it comes to action. He is always ready to fight, and puts everything into his fights. Whyte is the more technical and disciplined fighter in the ring, but Chisora never stops trying. The chance at a shot at Anthony Joshua’s four belts provides enough drive for Chisora to give it everything he has. ” We are coming to take his spot, Chisora says. We will seek and destroy, pound him, and beat him up, this is no risk, but my fight to win”.
Whyte is quietly confident of reproducing the result he had in their first meeting. ”He can keep talking, biut we will see what happens on Saturday night, he told The Eye Of Media.Com. Chisora will do the same thing he always done, just come forward, but we have a good game plan for him. David Haye in his corner is good for him psychologically, but there is a limit to what Haye can do for him in preparation. Haye will not be with him in the ring”.
Fights these good and exciting don’t come that often. They get boxing fights excited, and predicting a winner is never an easy guess. The bookies believe Whyte will win this. Chisora’s new mentality and extra weapon in the form of David increases his chances of victory.
