He further added, “So anywhere they are saying Derek Chisora is an easy fight for Tyson, Derek Chisora is 643, 18 and a half stone. You can bang, he put Carlo’s attack on spark out. Anthony Joshua has never done that to Carlos Takam. So you’ve got all these points to think about. Anybody saying Chisora is a walkover, have a day off. Chisora, depending on which Chisora turns up, can be a dangerous man. So you know it can’t, I sold that button it can’t be too many complaints. Because already 17,000 tickets are gone. So you know, it’s gonna be watched by some people, isn’t it?”
