Derek Chisora has hit the scales for the penultimate fight of his near two-decade career in Manchester, and weighed more than 20lbs heavier than his opponent Otto Wallin.
Chisora tops the bill at the Co-op Live Arena tomorrow (Saturday) against Swedish contender Wallin, and Chisora showed up wearing his Union Jack bandana around his face and a black cowboy hat on his head.
Wallin, trained by former champion Joey Gamache, came in at 239.1lbs after Chisora had weighed 259.7lbs. The fighters had an aggressive head-to-head and Chisora grabbed the Swede and put him in a playful headlock before they went their separate ways before they meet again tomorrow.
“Manchester, I fucking love you,” said Chisora. “Thank you very much for welcoming me.”
