Dereck Chisora will be doing me a favour if he knocks me out on July 26. Actually, he’ll be doing the whole of boxing a favour. Because if I’m a fraud, I want to be found out. If I’m a fraud I hope somebody does find me out because I won’t waste my time anymore. I wouldn’t be in the gym sweating blood and tears — I’d be out in a pub somewhere.
So if I’m a fraud please come and find me out. And if anyone in the top 10 of boxing thinks that I’m a fraud come and prove it.
People keep wanting to shut me up, but they are never going to stop this mouth from talking until someone can actually beat me.
Whether anyone can do that remains to be seen, but I’ve got all the ambitions of retiring undefeated, so let’s see if somebody can come and deal with me.
Many have tried before and I’m still waiting.
We are still a long way away from my fight with Chisora, but even if it was tonight, I’d be ready and I’d go in there and beat him.
Even if I was 25st I could still beat Dereck Chisora. Not because there is anything wrong with him, but because I know that whatever weight I am or however unfit I am, I can find a way to win.
That’s because I’m a winner. Every time the chips are down, when it counts, I can pull it out of the fire.
When someone can do that it is because they are a phenomenal athlete. Not just an athlete in terms of shape, I mean a phenomenal winner.
I’m an adaptor. Whatever style it is, whatever I need to do, I can adapt to get the victory, which is what I will do against Chisora in our final eliminator for the WBC title at the Phones 4 U Arena.
I beat him the first time we fought back in 2011 when I was still a kid. We are going to find out how much I’ve improved on July 26. It is all right talking the talk — but it’s getting in there and doing it. Chisora says a lot of stuff, but whether he will deliver or not I don’t know.
The question is — what can he do differently to the first fight?
What else can he do but try to get one of those swings to land home? He’s not going to outbox me because I’m too big. — Manchester Evening News.
