On a sunny Sunday afternoon in London, heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora found himself in a heated altercation with a Deliveroo driver outside a restaurant in Hampstead. Chisora, who was enjoying a meal with his two daughters, had a run-in with the cyclist who was riding on the pavement. The incident, which was filmed and shared on social media, showed Chisora grabbing the driver, who responded angrily, "Who are you putting your hands on, bro? I swear, get off me now."
Although it's not clear what Chisora said in response, it is believed that he asked the rider to get off his bike due to safety concerns for people and dogs on the pavement. The driver became increasingly agitated and pushed Chisora, saying, "Do you think I'm mad, bro?" In a shocking turn of events, Chisora then headbutted the man, causing him to stagger back as onlookers gasped. One person can be heard in the video suggesting they leave the scene.
Chisora, a former British heavyweight champion and holder of both the WBA and WBO International heavyweight titles, is currently training for his upcoming main-event fight against Joe Joyce at The O2 on July 27. His last fight was in August 2023, where he beat 42-year-old Gerald Washington via unanimous decision. However, in December 2022, he faced a tough defeat against Tyson Fury for the WBC heavyweight title, being knocked out in the 10th round at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
During the UK election campaign, Chisora made headlines once again when he posed for photos alongside Reform UK leader Nigel Farage at a gym in Clacton. This wasn't the first time Chisora publicly endorsed Farage's political party, as he also showed his support for the Brexit party in 2019.
At a press conference to promote his upcoming fight with Joyce, Chisora arrived over 90 minutes late and made a rather unconventional request. He asked Joyce if they could smoke weed together after their clash, saying, "Sorry I'm late, I was in my Russian sauna. I thought the press conference was tomorrow, not today. By the time we finish the fight, someone is going to have less brain cells left in their brain." He then turned to Joyce and joked, "After I beat you up, can we smoke weed together? Don't groan man, don't worry about it. Don't look at them lot, they might smoke weed as well. We'll smoke weed together, don't worry about it. Come to my house, everybody comes to my house."
