Derek Chisora loves sharing a video on social media almost as much as he loves Deontay Wilder. But the two heavyweight veterans have agreed to shelve their bromance until they've after they've had a fight, which is close to being confirmed for April 4 in London.
Earlier this week, Chisora posted a video of him signing a piece of paper with the insinuation it was a contract to fight the 40-year-old former WBC beltholder. That proved to be a touch premature, or at least it was in the eyes of Queensberry Promotions who still had contactual rights on Chisora as he looked to secure his 50th and final professional contract. However, the fight with Wilder, 44-4-1 (43 KOs), was set to be staged by Kalle and Nisse Sauerland, the brothers who guided Chisora for a brief period in the last decade.
In the latest video, the 36-13 (23 KOs) Chisora can be seen holding two things: A piece of paper that we're to believe is a fight contract and mobile from which he is talking to Wilder on a video call.
"Signed," says Chisora, showing Wilder the piece of paper.
"Let's freaking go!" Wilder replies, grinning widely.
"I hope you're ready," Chisora says, smiling just as proudly.
"If I'm not ready then I'm gonna get ready," Wilder says. "I'm just going to let you know, I love you, bro, this is the last phone call. Next time I see you it will be at the press conference and then after that we'll be in the ring, baby."
Chisora agrees. "This is the last phonecall from me too, bro," he says. "I'm just phoning to tell you, bro, good luck."
"I love you so much, brother," Wilder responds. "Let's make it happen."
The heavyweight showdown is set to be staged in a London Arena - the O2 is currently free on April 4 - and it has been reported that Sky Sports will broadcast on their pay-per-view platform. However, BoxingScene understands that the broadcaster, currently without boxing on their schedule, is yet to fully commit.
