Chisora: If I Saw Him, I Would Have Slapped Briggs' Face!
By Ruslan Chikov
British heavyweight Dereck Chisora, who challenges WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko on December 11 in Germany, is disgusted with last weekend's performance by American heavyweight Shannon Briggs. In the fight, WBC champion Vitali Klitschko punished Shannon Briggs for twelve rounds.
Chisora said he was so angry with Briggs' performance that he would have slapped the former heavyweight champion across his face. Chisora was ringside to watch the fight. After the action he spoke with RTL and voiced his displeasure with American heavyweights. Chisora thinks the American opponents of the Klitschko brothers are only interested in getting a "fat check."
"I don't respect Shannon Briggs. He's a let down to boxing. He's an embarrassment to boxing. He should hang up his gloves. If I saw him myself, I would have slapped his face. He's an embarrassment to boxing," Chisora said.
