Derek Chisora vows to 'go to war' with Oleksandr Usyk on May 23
Chisora vows to go to war with Usyk
Dereck Chisora wants to get revenge for Tony Bellew when he faces Oleksandr Usyk and has vowed to go to war.
Chisora and Usyk will go toe-to-toe at London's O2 Arena on May 23 as they both look to edge further up the heavyweight rankings. The Brit enters the fight off the back of a three-match winning streak, having beaten Senad Gashi, Artur Szpilka and David Price, while Usyk is undefeated after 17 professional bouts.
It looks set to be a firecracker of a meeting and Chisora has already started the war of words just a day after the fight was officially confirmed. Usyk, who earned a brutal KO win over Bellew at cruiserweight level in 2018, has been told to brace himself for the power of a 'real heavyweight'.
'War is coming,' said Chisora. 'Usyk reckons he can step up and survive with the big boys. He may be the undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world but on May 23rd he will find out what it feels like to be hit by a real heavyweight.
'He is coming to my backyard, I'm going to remind him exactly why he hid in the cruiserweight division and also get revenge for my boy, Tony Bellew. This will be war.'
