Chisora annoyed

-

DERECK Chisora has said he will walk away from his heavyweigh­t fight with Joseph Parker next month if it does not top the bill.

The 35-year-old made the threat at a press conference previewing the October 26 bout at London’s O2 Arena.

The fight is currently on the undercard to the final of the World Boxing Super Series between super-lightweigh­ts Josh Taylor and Regis Prograis but Chisora, who produced a string of expletives to make his point, is demanding a move up the running order.

“Give me main event or pull me out of the show,” he said at his press conference. “I’m not going to sell out the O2 for them to be the main event. I’m the main event, if not I want more money.”
