38-year-old British heavyweight Derek Chisora (32-12, 23 KOs) on the eve of a rematch against Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev (29-2, 14 KOs), which will take place tonight in London (England), admitted that his career is inexorably nearing completion .
At the same time, the veteran cannot say exactly when and / or under what circumstances he will hang up his gloves on a nail.
“I have no idea how I will live in retirement, but I can see that now I am already on the way to retirement. I’m not leaving right now, but I’m getting closer to it,” Derek stated. “Consider this my encore, and I’ll still play some rock ‘n’ roll anthems for the fans. How many times have we been told that the Rolling Stones are retiring, and then we have seen and heard them again and again.”
“I don’t make plans, because it’s not in vain that they say: “If you want to make the Lord laugh, tell him about your plans.” Winning is not everything, and having a corresponding mark in your record does not mean that you have won. Making people happy, entertaining them – sometimes this is the real victory, ”Chisora philosophically remarked.
Derek also told how he and Alexander Usyk met in a London bathhouse.
