Derek Chisora (32-10, 23 KOs), despite his Saturday defeat to Alexander Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs), still believes in himself and is not even going to think about retirement despite the fact that he is already 37 years old.
“After the final bell, it seemed to me that I deserved to win. I gave a few rounds, but I dictated the distance and pace, I made him go back and imposed my own fighting style. Usyk fought the way I wanted him to fight. But most importantly, I promised the fans a good fight, and I think they got it. Usyk's punches are not too strong. When you get hit by a heavyweight, you think "oh shit." In the case of Usyk, this was not at all," the former European heavyweight champion said.
“I love boxing and definitely have no intention of retiring. I still have the urge to train and I can still hit hard. Now I will take a two-week break, and then I will return to training,” Chisora ​​said.
“The truth is, for the first time in his career, Dereck did what he had to do. This was the first truly professional camp he held. I am confident that, despite his age, he will be even better in the next fights,” said David Haye, Chisora's manager.
