Those expecting a typical Derek Chisora press conference outburst were left disappointed following the Londoner’s final media engagement with Joseph Parker. The heavyweight pair face off this Saturday, a fight that can be seen on DAZN , and it’s a battle with a lot on the line as they renew hostilities from their May meeting.
Back then Parker climbed off the floor in the first round to rally brilliantly on his way to a points victory. Both fighters have demonstrated confidence in the build-up for this rematch, but it was Parker who was the most vocal when the pair sat at the top table in Manchester.
When Chisora was approached for his thoughts on the fight from Eddie Hearn, the event’s promoter, he remained silent. Instead of offering an opinion, Chisora reached towards a portable speaker and played Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ which promoted Eddie Hearn to sing along. Hopefully Chisora’s approach on Saturday will contain the aggression missing from today’s presser.
