On Saturday, at a boxing evening from Matchroom Boxing in London, a rematch will take place between Derek Chisora (32-12, 23 KOs) and Kubrat Pulev (29-2, 14 KOs). The Bulgarian, who beat the Briton on points in the first match many years ago, this time announces the victory ahead of schedule.
“It will be a tough fight, maybe not too tough, but with a fun knockout,” Pulev said in an interview with IFL TV. “Chisora is nothing special. I will beat him a second time, and he knows it, I saw it in his eyes."
British promoter Eddie Hearn is counting on a completely different outcome: “Derek must win! Everyone discusses whether Chisora should continue to perform. But I keep saying: look at the level of his opponents. He was supposed to fight Kovnatsky, he will have a rematch with Pulev, this is a very good fight. However, he must win, because if he continues to lose, despite the confrontation with the elite, he will have to end his career, ”said the head of Matchroom Boxing.
