The fighter formerly known as ‘Del Boy’ cut a leaner, calmer figure at the weigh-in as the two heavyweight rivals prepare to relive their epic 2016 clash
Derek Chisora, the ring artist formerly known as “Del Boy”, has found God and David Haye, serendipity visited on few, and has simultaneously rebooted his spirit and his body as he enters the autumnal days of a tumultuous boxing career.
The intake of breath that greeted the unveiling of the latest version of “War” Chisora, as he is now known, ahead of his rematch with Dillian Whyte at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday night all but sucked the oxygen out of their heavyweight weigh-in. The last time they faced off before a fight, Chisora was fined £25,000 for hurling a table at Whyte; on Friday, there was nothing but goodwill to all men – and a lot of honed muscle.
