Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs) is considered a very uncomfortable opponent, and allegedly therefore most heavyweights do not really strive to fight him. At the same time, Derek Chisora (32-9, 23 KO) very quickly and easily agreed to meet the Ukrainian. David Haye, Chisora’s manager, has no doubt that this was a good move, and Usyk will definitely lose in his second performance in the field of giants.
Usyk and Chisora are still waiting for confirmation of the date of their battle, which has just been postponed for the third time. Some do not give the Englishman a great chance, although there are others like, for example, Dillian Whyte, who believes that Usyk made the wrong choice. “I am very strong, but Chisora constantly created problems for me. If Derek is in good shape, he will win this fight,” Whyte said some time ago. Haymaker, once an opponent of Chisora, speaks of the Englishman in a similar vein.
“Usyk is not afraid of this fight, but do you know why? Because he can’t even imagine what awaits him in this fight. He does not know yet, because he has never encountered what Derek has to offer him. He just does not understand what he got involved in. This will not be another battle against Tony Bellew, because Derek will offer him something completely different. He will aggressively attack Usyk from the start, as did Fury in a rematch with Wilder. He won't even let him off,” Haye said.
“I'm ready for him to run,” added Chisora, the former European heavyweight champion, a former contender for the WBC belt.
