Chisora: Briggs Proved That Americans Come To Survive
By Ruslan Chikov
There is one thing that Derek Chisora and his domestic rival David Haye have common, they are both unimpressed with the performances by American heavyweight boxers when they step in the ring with the Klitschko brothers.
Chisora was ringside in Hamburg, Germany on Saturday and watched Vitali Klitschko hand a brutal beating to Shannon Briggs for twelve rounds. Chisora doesn't believe that any of the American heavyweights actually come to fight, but are rather more interested in the big checks that come from a Klitschko fight. Chisora will challenge the younger Wladimir Klitschko for his IBO/WBO/IBF titles on December 11 in Germany.
"As shown by Saturday's bout with Vitali and Briggs, a lot of Americans come to Germany with only one goal - to survive and survive all 12 rounds. Looking at the performance of Shannon, I was ashamed for boxing. I have the same money but I'm absolutely not interested in that. I'm only coming to fight for the title and to try to take away the belt from Wladimir," Chisora said.
"In Germany is where he won the title and it's where he's going to lose it. I'm not a person who talks a lot. I'm just going to win the title on December 11 and bring it back home "
