Heavyweight Derek Chisora will now face David Price at The O2 in London on October 26. Chisora (31-9, 22 KOs) was scheduled to face former WBO champion Joseph Parker until the New Zealander was forced out through illness. Price (25-6, 20 KOs), who was scheduled to fight in Liverpool on November 23, steps in to face Chisora on the back of his career-changing win over Dave Allen.
“It didn’t matter who got in the ring with me on October 26th I’m ready for WAR. Parker b*tched out, it’s like he thinks he is Peter Parker not Joseph Parker with his Spider-Man excuses. It’s cool, let him do his thing,” said Chisora.
“David Price has stepped up and I’m ready for whatever he brings. If he thinks I’m just going to stand there and be a punch bag like Dave Allen he is in for a shock. This is north versus south and in my home town I write the rules. Saturday 26th October get ready to scream TIMBER!”
This will be an exciting fight for sure!
I expect Price will get knocked out but I hope he does not get seriously injured.
Fight doesn’t last 4 rounds, down goes Price again.
David Price has no chance.
wow great replacement. Good luck to Price. I prefer this to the Parker fight
Price spends more time on his back fighting than sleeping. Horrible fight, like 95 percent of them.
Harsh comment. Price has his limitations but he always shows up prepared and ready to give 100%. Not sure how many can say that about their efforts on the job. Can you?
Should be fun watching Derek chop down another failed Basketball player.
Another failed basketball player? I challenge you to present to me a single EX basketball player that Chisora has fought. You should probably think before you speak or type. Nobody had to know you were a fool, but when you opened your mouth you left no doubt.
Price is a huge liability and should not even be fighting anymore. I pray he don’t get hurt.
2 C level guys who can’t beat the better fighters of the division squaring off? I’ve seen this fight before. Gatti vs Ward. Lets hope this one is half as explosive. They tend to get hit a lot. They tend to lay it all out. It will be good while it lasts.
Have they never fought before? Chisora can no longer claim he should have top billing now that he’s fighting Price. It seems in Price’s entire career, he’s coming back from an upset KO loss. This time the KO won’t be an upset.
He won last time out so he’s not coming off a KO loss this time
You have to give it to Price, he will fight anybody. And for somebody with a glass jaw he doesn’t mind fighting punchers either.
My money on Chisora in this one, and early. Just don’t forget that Price hit hard and he is one the few that really hurt Povedkin badly, having said that, there is chance to see Chisora flat on his back too. Violent fight though
My goodness I’ve never heard of someone with such a BIG MOUTH as Chisora lol. This guys gets bashed where he’s out cold on the canvas in convulsions and when he finally gets up groggy he’s talking shit lol. He’s lucky this ain’t a street fight or his opponent might make sure he never gets up. He should be grateful to God that he is spared something awful.
Go pricey
Neither of these two can afford loss in this one.I expect a good fight.Advantage to Del boy.
Reading these comms you’d think that the 2 fighters are on totally different levels. To me both guys are pretty much on the same level. Price has better skills and better punch power whereas DC is tougher and has better stamina.
Both fighters have been found wanting at a certain level. I’m actually going to say I have a sneaky feeling Price will win this. He was due to fight on the next Callum Smith bill in Liverpool (either as co main even or chief support) so I feel he must really fancy this to choose it over the Liverpool event
John, the difference is in punch resistance. Chisora has a solid chin whereas Price’s is made of fine china. I’d like to be proven wrong, but I pick Del Boy by early to mid round KO.
These are two historically pathetic and forgettable fighters. I don’t care who wins or who loses. If both these fighters disappeared tomorrow, I wouldn’t even remember they existed at all.
Chisora in 2!
Omg! David Price is gonna get 7 bells of shit knocked out of him.
Price does have big power but has become gun-shy after getting blasted out a few times. If he unloads.. Hard to tell who can keep standing or get back up.
We know Chisora comes to fight.. Hes comes straight forward all the time.. This fight depends on what David Price shows up.
Price reminds me of Hasim Rahman in that his loses are entertaining and have some drama.
Dellboy better beware of Price’s awesome right hand and wait for Price to gas out and drop his hands. Amazing how easy it is for any decent HW to KO price if they can avoid early onslaught. It seems like both poor cardio and deer in the headlights syndrome make it so hard for Price to avoid getting chinned. Such long reach great power and a power jab when he remembers to use it …
