Chisora: I’m not afraid of old man Vitali; his old legs won’t keep up

This Saturday night British heavyweight Dereck Chisora (15-2, 9 KO’s) will be fighting for a world title for the first time in his five-year pro career against 6’7″ World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s) at the Olympiahalle, in Munich, Bayern, Germany.

Chisora told thesun.co.uk “I’m not like any of the other challengers that bow down. They don’t know what to expect. It scares them. Why should I be afraid of an old man? It will be 100 miles an hour and his old legs won’t be able to keep up.”

Chisora is really into not giving respect to Vitali and seems to equate not giving respect as something that will give him a mental edge in the ring on Saturday night. While I do agree that you can sometimes intimidate an opponent enough to get an edge in a fight, but not when you don’t have much talent to go along with the false front. Chisora is heaped to the ceiling in mind games but short of the talent needed to take advantage of it.
