Chisora promoter Frank Warren: Dereck defeating Vitali Klitschko would be the biggest upset; "I’ve been involved in a lot of good things during my 30 odd years in boxing – Ricky Hatton stopping Kostya Tszyu, Joe Calzaghe schooling Jeff Lacy, Danny Williams smashing up Mike Tyson – but if Chisora can pull this off it’ll be the biggest upset of the lot," said Warren, who also promoted big men such as Herbie Hide (who reclaimed the WBO heavyweight belt when he dropped Tony Tucker thrice in a two round technical knockout) as well as Frank Bruno (a champion of the WBC title when he slayed Oliver McCall)."Herbie had everything in his favour and beat an old man in Tony Tucker and I always fancied Bruno would beat Oliver McCall because, though he had certain limitations, Frank was very fit and I’d seen how McCall had really struggled to cope with Larry Holmes’s jab when Larry was a very old man."Everything is against Dereck," he said, in a situation that contrasts both Hide's and Bruno's. "Unfortunately, we’re on the pauper’s side of the fence in negotiations and, as Vitali is obliging us with a voluntary defence, we’ve had to agree to a lot of things that we’d not have accepted had we been in a mandatory position. But Dereck is adamant that he wants the big fights and we can’t deliver any bigger than this."Chisora (15-2-0, 9ko) has been prophesying an eighth round stoppage in his favour, an outcome Warren believes is a "very big call". Warren also praised both Vitali and Wladimir as they are both "phenomenal" prizefighters and "easily the best of their generation", however, what the British hall of fame promoter desires most, is fair judging, something Chisora did not benefit from when he took the fight to Robert Helenius yet was pilfered at ringside due to controversial scoring."It’s a big ask to expect to receive a decision against [Klitschko] in Germany. I just hope the judges won’t be fazed as they were in Finland. The public aren’t stupid. They know who’s won the fight so why cheat them?"Assessing Chisora's best chances of success, Warren explained that father time could creep up on Vitali on Saturday evening: "Vitali’s knocking on and I suspect he isn’t comfortable with a lot of speed and movement. If Dereck is able to emulate the workrate and desire that he showed against Robert Helenius, and can maintain the confidence to constantly apply pressure, he’ll give Vitali a lot to think about."I’ll certainly be having a good wager on him."♔EL Boxing Empress & MMA Princess♔, See you at the Fights and Thank You for your time.EL Boxing Empress Online @ Twitter http://www.twitter.com/Keishamorrisey ©®™ 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 All photos other than specified by "EL Boxing Empress & MMA Princess" Keisha Morrisey, for ♔Empire Morrisey Photo-Studios♔, KCKMT for Bloodline Boxing Communications Entertainment and ★Starlite★ Boxing's Sweetscience Magnews-Online Publication all rights reserved.
