Heavyweight elite, Dereck Chisora, might be a treacherous force inside the boxing ring. However, he has a charming persona away from the ring, and most of his recent fights have had a comical build-up instead of bad-blood ones.

While he is set to return against Joseph Parker in May, the Brit has already begun sensationalizing their upcoming fight. With sheer comic timing, Chisora opened up on a situation when Parker called him a ‘donkey’.

Akin to several boxing matchups, it could have been the roots of an intense feud. However, Dereck Chisora took it light-heartedly and shed his opinion on the entire scenario. He connected with Sky Sports and talked about several things, including the verbal feud with Joseph Parker.

On a hilarious note, Dereck Chisora said, “I don’t know if he (Parker) called me a donkey, please stop winding me up (laughs), Oh I don’t think so. I wanna check again the replay. Did he? He (Parker) is in trouble then.”

It’s evident the heavyweight clash has a sense of professionalism with no vile attachment of emotions. But that won’t suppress the intensity of an in-ring collision. Both Chisora and Parker are veterans in the weight class. So, their in-ring battle will seemingly reflect that.
