Derek Chisora ​​reveals the message he sent to the former heavyweight champion urging him to get rid of his trainer

Derek Chisora ​​and Deontay Wilder are two of the elder statesmen of the global heavyweight boxing scene – and now Chisora ​​has revealed the honest message he sent to the American big hitter.

Chisora ​​is a British veteran who has been extremely popular throughout his long career. The fan favorite is always in action and entertaining fights that live up to his “War” mantra.

In total, he fought 48 fights, lost 13 times and shared the ring with Tyson Fury three times, Dillian Whyte twice, Joseph Parker twice and countless others.

Wilder was once a longtime WBC world champion on a fearsome knockout streak that stopped Luis Ortiz, Bermaine Stiverne and Robert Helenius, but came unstuck in his trilogy with Fury, drawing then losing the next two by stop,

Since then, he has been reluctant to pull the trigger on his biggest punch and has lost to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

Speaking to Seconds Out, Chisora ​​blames this reluctance on his coach Malik Scott.

“What happened here is Deontay Wilder is a fucking Lion King. It’s a lion. People tune in to watch this guy fight. Forget everything that’s going on in his life right now. I was going home to watch a Deontay Wilder fight, because you know, yeah, he’s going to lose rounds, but someone’s going to get knocked out.

“I mean, he teamed up with Malik Scott, it’s amazing, Malik is going to show him how to box and knock people out, and then Malik Scott took a lion and turned him into a cat.”

Chisora ​​then said he told Wilder directly.

“I even messaged Deontay Wilder saying you guys need to get rid of Malik, Malik is unhinged. If he’s not hungry enough to train you to be an animal, what’s the point. He wasn’t supposed to lose that fight with Parker, he wasn’t supposed to lose that fight with Zhang.

“You gave this guy a big role and he doesn’t show you anything, you don’t even throw your right hand anymore. I’m angry at Malik, he failed us as a community, he took one of your best athletes and made him an idiot.

Chisora ​​has been waiting a long time for a big fight to potentially bow out and Wilder is a name he has mentioned more than once.
