“I don't think they really wanted to give me revenge. And in his place, I would not have accepted him, I would have gone further - but I was 100 percent sure that I wanted a fight. What kind of talk about glasses can there be? In the end, I was the one pushing him and looking for a fight. If not for this, we would have stood opposite and looked at each other," said Derek Chisora (32-11, 23 KOs), who still hasn't come to terms with defeat by split decision Joseph Parker (29-2, 21 KOs) at the beginning of May this year. Chisora ​​will have a chance for revenge on Saturday.

“Parker has good hands, has put on weight and will probably get a little stronger. But ever since he won the WBO belt against Andy Ruiz, he started boxing safer for himself, even conservatively. It has been a long time since I spoke in front of the fans in the stands, and it will be a great evening. Since the fans have paid for the tickets, I will put them on a good show,” promised the former European heavyweight champion.

“I don’t cry because of my defeats and I don’t think about the past. I'm going forward. I don’t want to leave the fate of the fight in the hands of the judges, I’ll just go out and have a good fight. It will not be an easy walk for him, I will bring pain to the ring and give the fans what they want, namely the war. The opponent will first try to weather my storm and try to move the meeting into the second half, but he will have nowhere to hide from me,” added Chisora.
