Derek Chisora didn't mince words about Ben Whittaker's latest fight. The heavyweight boxer is sure Whittaker quit during his bout with Liam Cameron in October.
The fight, which was part of the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol card, ended in a technical draw. Both fighters fell over the top rope during the match. Cameron was ready to keep going, but Whittaker said he got hurt and couldn't continue. The fight went to the scorecards, and some fans weren't buying Whittaker's injury claim.
Chisora shared his thoughts on the situation:
"He quit. There are no two ways about it. When he came out of the ring his legs were up in the air, then his legs dropped down. He quit. He has to take the quit-ness for him to be a better fighter."
The former title challenger thinks Whittaker must face Cameron again. He pointed out that Whittaker was struggling in the fight, saying, "He was getting tapped up."
Chisora also took issue with how Whittaker acted before the fight:
"I didn't like the whole way he built up the fight saying to another man 'look what you're wearing, you're a bum,' you can't do that. The moment you say that you are an enemy of mine."
As for Chisora himself, he's planning to get back in the ring in January. He says his next opponent will be someone fight fans know well.
