Derek Chisora: I'm stronger than Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua

Chisora promises the performance of his career as he continues training for his pay-per-view blockbuster with Usyk on Halloween weekend.
Derek Chisora says that he will 'go right through' Oleksandr Usyk in his bid to become a contender for a heavyweight title again.
If Chisora can hand Usyk his first professional defeat, he will claim the Ukrainian's status as WBO mandatory challenger.
The Zimbabwe-born British fighter could then press Anthony Joshua to defend the strap before the champion's planned unification bout against Tyson Fury.
"War" Chisora expressed the belief that he is the most powerful boxer in the heavyweight division and is confident of ending Usyk's undefeated run on the pro circuit.
"I am not losing. I'm going all out, guns blazing," Chisora told Sky Sports. "It's not about how much I want it. You know, when you want something badly, what you will do for it. I'll go through this man. Whatever he has got, he'll need more to stop me.
"The way I will come for him will be unbelievable. I will go through him. I don't think, in the heavyweight game, there is anybody stronger than me right now. Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte, Deontay Wilder? No, they aren't stronger than me.
"I'm stronger, crazier and I want it more."
Focused on the now
While Usyk's camp has made it clear that he is after Joshua's WBO title, Chisora isn't too bothered about what may happen in the future and says he is focused on doing his best in his next fight.
"I don't want to let myself down. Nothing else. I want to give my all," Chisora added.
"When it's all said and done, I don't want to look back and say, 'I should have done better in this fight'. I want to let it all go so when I hang up the gloves I don't have regrets. That's the motivation I have.
"For me? It's not about being in the top ten, it's about giving the best fights to the fans. Every time you wake up, the rankings are different, it doesn't faze me. How many people are interested to see me fight? The rankings don't matter to me."
Chisora will face Usyk on 31 October 2020 with the venue for the fight yet to be confirmed.
