Derek Chisora v Joseph Parker

[imp]

He needs to retire ASAP.

He’s suffering serious damage in there.

May 1st I just want a decent top tier heavyweight scrap for my B day . This is closer to it than the PBC same day steamer Ruiz v Arreola on PPV . Hope Parker comes with more fire than his waltz with Junior Fa though. Good to see Bivol back in action on card.

Dereck Chisora is the best paid journeyman in history!

Joking aside, I would have picked Parker to comfortably beat Chisora prior to the Fa fight, but now, I'm not so sure.

Parker looked very flat versus Fa & I don't know if it is because of Fa's style, or whether Joseph has slipped, but he'll need to up his game, otherwise he's in for a tough fight.

I'm going with Parker, but the fight might be more interesting than I previously thought such a fight would be.

I'd agree with that. Wasn't impressed by Parker vs Fa at all. It's easy to forget he's not even 30 still but he seems like an old fighter.
This could be a pretty competitive fight, especially if Chis comes out swinging for the fences like he did vs Whyte.

Chisora comes out swinging against everyone including Usyk and still loses.

I honestly don't think he will retire, as long as he is making a few bob from his fights and there is still a little interest in them he'll keep taking them, I think he genuinely just enjoys it, he doesn't need the money, I think its just a nice little bonus.

Derek Chisora teams up with new trainer Buddy McGirt ahead of heavyweight clash against Joseph Parker

Derek Chisora announces Buddy McGirt as new trainer to oversee preparations for his crucial heavyweight clash against New Zealand's former WBO champion Joseph Parker on May 1,

Derek Chisora has teamed up with new trainer Buddy McGirt ahead of next month's crucial heavyweight clash against Joseph Parker.

Chisora faces former WBO champion Parker on May 1, live on Sky Sports Box Office, and respected American McGirt will now oversee the British contender's preparations.

Announcing his trainer on social media, Chisora wrote: 'Building on the team, preparing for war!'

McGirt most recently trained Sergey Kovalev, the former WBO light-heavyweight champion, and also previously guided the career of Sky Sports expert Matthew Macklin.

Parker has also revamped his training camp, bringing in Tyson Fury's coach Andy Lee after the New Zealander amicably split from long-term cornerman Kevin Barry.

"I think it's exciting to see how it plays out," Parker's manager David Higgins told Sky Sports.

"We've heard good things about Andy. The two of them will spend a bit of time together and get to know each other.

"(Parker) He's excited about freshening things up a bit and maybe learning some new things, in a new environment.

"He had a wonderful run together with Kevin Barry and became world champion, but now it's time for a new chapter."

D. Chisora will plod along and get hit a hella shots and lose but not by knockout. He's gonna claim injury and then have more future fights. I don't think he should be fighting anymore at this point but he will plod on.
