The British super heavyweight boxer lamented the injustice in modern professional boxing.
There is no justice in modern professional boxing. Former heavyweight title contender Dereck Chisora said this in his interview with Simon Jordan.
The Briton also talked about a story from his life when he lost his thirst for success because of what he believed to be an unfair decision by the judges.
“Everyone wants to win. I’ll tell the truth: I lost my hunger to win after the fight with Robert Helenius in Helsinki. I beat him in 12 rounds, and then the judges gave me a bad decision. After announcing the result , I saw Nisse and Kalle Sauerland, the father of Helenius, they were embarrassed, but at the same time, they were happy with the success of their fighter, no one stood up for my corner, not Frank Warren, not the male manager I.
So at that point I lost my hunger because I realized that I had a certain place in the hierarchy because of the color of my skin, that no one stood in my corner. I won the fight, no doubt. And then suddenly they told me: “Klitschko said you want to fight him, so he’ll give you a title shot,” said Chisora.
Recall that in 2011, Chisora lost to Helenius by split decision.
Earlier, Chisora explained how you can beat Oleksandr Usyk.
