Age-old British heavyweight brawler Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) defeated 41-year-old Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev (29-3, 14 KOs) over the weekend in a rematch, after which he talked with former unified division champion British Anthony Joshua (24- 2, 22 KOs).

The thing is that AJ will also have a rematch soon – on August 20 in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) he will try to return the WBA Super, IBF, WBO belts in a fight with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs), who also previously won and Chisora.
Derek claims that he will definitely fly to Jeddah and even promised Joshua maximum support – he will be in his corner during the rematch. Chisora also paid tribute to his compatriot: “In the course of the battle with Pulev, I realized that I must give you credit. This dude is so tough. I still couldn’t figure out why he still wasn’t lying. And I was constantly thinking about what the hell you managed to drop it with. I still don’t understand how the fuck you did it. Bro, don’t worry! I will be there! First I will fly to Monaco, and from there I will go straight to Saudi Arabia.”
Joshua replied to Chisora that he needed his support, saying “come as soon as you are free.”
After a phone call, Derek said that he would help “his younger bro” in preparation, as he wants him to take revenge on Alexander – the first fight took place in September last year in London (England). In it, Usyk won by decision of the judges.
Chisora wrote on social media: “I won my revenge. Now it’s time for Joshua. I will fly to Saudi Arabia and support.”
