Frank Warren Not Worried About Klitschko-Chisora Officials

Promoter Frank Warren is confident there will be no issue with ringside officials when Dereck Chisora has his shot at WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.

British fighter Amir Khan recently suffered a controversial split decision loss against local favourite Lamont Peterson in Washington DC, which cost him his WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles.

Khan has called for the fight to be declared a no contest, with a hearing set for January 18.

Warren believes there will be no such problems when Chisora takes on Klitschko at the Oympiahalle in Munich in February.

"The fight will be under a lot of scrutiny, we will be asking the Boxing Board of Control to have neutral officials," said Warren.

"We have had the last couple of fights with British guys abroad when there has been some controversy.

"The eyes of the world will be on this fight, so I am quite sure that they will ensure the right people are appointed as referees and judges."

Chisora is looking to bounce back from the disappointment of a controversial points defeat in his European heavyweight bout with Robert Helenius in Finland, having also lost to Tyson Fury in their British title showdown in July last year.

The 27-year-old Londoner has no problems with fighting overseas - and claims he can thrive on any negative atmosphere.

He said: "I love it. In Helsinki I was the underdog, but the more boos I heard, the more excited I was.

"We will travel anywhere to fight and I am looking forward to fighting in a famous stadium for the biggest prize."
