David Haye signs deal to manage former heavyweight rival Dereck ‘Delboy’ Chisora
‘Hayemaker’ backs ‘Brixton-brawler’ to fight in a world heavyweight title clash against Anthony Joshua.
David Haye on his partnership :
“Dillian Whyte has been talking about this much-anticipated rematch with Joshua as he really hurt him in their first fight many years ago.
“But since then, Dillian Whyte has improved and is getting the performances.
“The win over Lucas Browne was a fantastic knockout victory; in the win over Parker he controlled that fight. So he’s on a string of very good, world-class victories.
“If Dereck Chisora can beat him in exciting fashion, I cannot see why not, the British public will demand Dereck Chisora (or ‘War’ Chisora we are calling him now) to get in there with ‘AJ’.”
Chisora on his career future :
“I am at a point in my career I know I cannot afford to make mistakes,” said Chisora. “I am not playing, I am not cutting corners or looking for the short cuts.
“I have realised I need to live the life of a professional if I am to achieve what I know I am capable of.
“There will be no more late nights partying, drinking, getting distracted by stuff that will simply move me away from my dream.”
Eddie Hearn who has been promoting Dereck for his last few fights is still wanting to get the fight on between ‘Delboy’ and Dillian Whyte.
The O2 Arena in London has been booked by Matchroom Boxing Promoter Hearn for December 22nd 2018 date.
Negotiations are ongoing.
