"To hell with boxing. We're going to fight!" Chisora sends a fiery message to Wallin

British heavyweight veteran Dereck Chisora has issued a bold statement to his upcoming opponent, Otto Wallin.

Quote: "He brings a certain fear out of me. I can't take this guy lightly. I have to do what I do, even more so, because I'm fighting a younger guy. His recovery time is faster than mine. So, everything I do now, I have to do more and more just to keep up with him.

We’re not going to box. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Boxing is for amateurs. We’re going to have a proper fight. So don’t think you’re coming to box, that you’ll land a punch and run. No, no, no, no. To hell with boxing, we’re going to fight. You like boxing? That’s bulls***. We’re going to fight. I’m going to hurt you," Chisora said, as quoted by Ring Magazine.

Reminder: Chisora and Wallin are set to face off at the Co-Op Live arena in Manchester on February 8. The fight will be broadcast on TNT Sports.

The popular heavyweight has expressed his intention to compete in fifty professional bouts before retiring. The 49th fight against Wallin will mark his final appearance on British soil.
