“It is an amazing experience for a fighter like me to be asked by one of Britain’s best boxers to help him train for a world heavyweight title challenge.
“The Chisora team are treating me brilliantly and it shows what I have to do to become a champion.
“Every minute Dereck is the gym he trains like an absolute demon and I and learn so much.
“Right now I feel like I am the luckiest man in the world and that is no exaggeration.”
