Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) moved from Zimbabwe to North London at the age of 16. It was not easy, but today the whole boxing world will be watching him. He will fight not only for himself, but also for the future of his daughters.
Chisora grew up in a difficult area and had to fight for his place in the sun. However, this experience helped him in his further boxing career. Few people bet on him in battle with Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs), but the challenger should not be underestimated either. The opponents know each other very well, because this will be their third meeting. In 2011, Fury won on points, and in 2014 ahead of schedule. Derek was pulled from the fight between the tenth and eleventh rounds.
Chisora will receive £2 million for his third fight with Fury. A worthy fee at the final stage of a career, because the applicant is already thirty-nine years old. Angelina and Harare, Derek's daughters, are his motivation for such difficult fights.
“Sometimes I have to go back to my neighborhood where I grew up and I’m like, damn it, I don’t want to live here again. That's what motivates me. I sent my kids to private schools and that costs money. I want them to start better and stay away from the places where I grew up," Chisora admitted.
