‘Why Should I Always Get Shafted?’ – Derek Chisora Gives His Take on Ring Walk Dispute Against Joseph Parker

Derek Chisora is all set to enter a mammoth tussle with Joseph Parker this weekend. The contest between these two has the ability to mold the heavyweight roster for even bigger fights in the future. Also, this bout is important for both the fighters too, as they have championship aspirations.

But it seems the fight’s future is in jeopardy, as ‘War’ Chisora may withdraw because of a ring walk dispute.

In conversation with iFL TV, he said, “It’s my PPV. Last time I did it (went first) because they were like, ‘Usyk‘s this and this,’ I was like, ‘Fine’. Now, why should I always get shafted? If fans were out, the fans would be buying a ticket to watch me, not Parker.” (h/t Michael Benson)

‘War’ wanted to make his ring walk after Joseph Parker. But as the former lost a coin toss, he will have to make his ring walk first, and this has upset him. Ahead of the fight, a frustrated Derek Chisora spoke to Sky Sports and said-

“They want to do a coin flip, who comes in the ring first and who comes in the ring second. I was like, ‘Nah, not doing that. Either I come in second or I’ll go home right now!”

Should Derek Chisora really pull out of the Joseph Parker fight?

Chisora, a true veteran of the game, is hungry to put himself on the line for a heavyweight title shot. But to claim that, he will have to battle out several hotshots of the division.
This will not only help him strengthen his pro-boxing resume, but will also assist him to be a flamboyant face for a title fight in the coming time. That said, pulling out of the fight at this stage might be a blunder, as Chisora will be the one with the most to lose.
It’ll be exciting to see if ‘War’ gets his wish and is the last boxer to make his way to the ring later tonight. What do you draw off Chisora’s comments? Do you think he should pull out from this fight due to a ring walk dispute?
