British heavyweight Dereck Chisora picked up a table and threw it at Dillian Whyte at their boxing press conference .
The press conference to promote their clash in Manchester arena in the undercard of the Joshua-Molina fight became very heated. Chisora and Whyte do not like each other one bit, and both men are expected to give fans real value for money when they meet on Saturday night.
Neither of the two men has a clear shout at victory when they eventually
meet, both being on par in most departments but Whyte probably big a bigger hitter. Depending on the amount of desire, this fight can go either way but most probably goes the distance with either man nicking the win.
Whyte and Chisora have always shown a tendency to go below the belt in their attitude.: “If I see you anywhere, I’m going to attack you – even after the fight,” Whyte unprofessionally told Chisora.
Chisora’s reaction was typical of his violent streak, but he defended himself by saying he reacted to what he felt was a threat against his life.
“Why should this guy threaten my life right now?” said Chisora, who has six defeats from 32 fights.
“Fight talk is fight talk. You can say anything you want about me. But one thing you cannot do is threaten a man’s life. Saying you will see me after the fight. Then I get upset. I don’t mind the trash talk.”
Chisora was also involved in a brawl with David Haye at a press conference after his loss to Vitali Klitschko. He later got knocked out in 5 pulsating rounds by David Haye.
28-year-old Whyte has lost just once in 20 fights to Anthony Joshua when he was stopped in 7 thrilling rounds. Dereck Chisora will present him with another tough night, but one he can win even if not comfortably.
