Derek Chisora believes he provided some inside information about Oleksandr Usyk that wasn’t heeded by Anthony Joshua or Daniel Dubois.
Chisora took on the mighty challenge of the technical Ukrainian southpaw back in 2020. He pushed him hard in a physical to and fro that tested Usyk’s mettle in the division when he was still finding his feet having not long since come up from being the undisputed cruiserweight king.
Chisora ultimately lost a unanimous points decision and Usyk went on to twice beat Joshua over the distance to take then retain three of the four world titles before defending them against another Brit in Dubois earlier this year – a stoppage win.
Speaking to Up Front with Simon Jordan, Chisora claims he told Joshua and Dubois how to fight Usyk but they didn’t listen.
He then outlined exactly what the advice was.
Finally, he heaped praise on the current WBA, WBO and IBF champion.
Whether Tyson Fury will heed Chisora’s advice when he faces Usyk for the undisputed title on February 17, 2024, we shall soon find out.
