DEREK CHISORA shocked promoter Eddie Hearn by his silent treatment before his rematch against Joseph Parker.
Fans' favorite, 37-year old Eddie Hearn taped his mouth with the words "Eddie Hearn pay to talk" at Stroller Hall in Manchester.
Before his fight against Joseph Parker, Derek Chisora taped the mouth of Joseph Parker
Hearn asked him how much, but Chisora didn't answer. The Matchroom boss turned to Parker and asked him to speak.
The madcap heavyweight entered the room carrying his giant speaker blasting Purple Rain by Prince.
The king of prefight antics then chose to ignore David Higgins, rival promoter, and instead gave him a middle finger.
Instead of speaking to the media, Chisora performed Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, and sheepish Hearn briefly sang along.
Hearn allowed his undercard fighters to address the audience first, while silent Chisora kept her mouth covered by a covid-19 mask.
After all the support stars had spoken Hearn attempted to get Del Boy involved in the sales of the show, but he kept hilariously schtuming and revealed the prank.
Chisora is now known as War and has many forms for fight-week madness. These include Halloween body paint for Oleksandr Usyk clashes to throwing a table at bitter nemesis Dillian Youte.
Chisora spit water on Vitali Klitschko in 2010 and placed a kiss to the lips of fuming Carl Baker.
Many of Chisora’s most outrageous stunts have been used to increase last-minute PPV sales via Sky Sports.
The veteran boxer is now on DAZN streaming, so it appears that he has toned down his efforts, unless Hearn makes more money.
