A few days ago, heavyweight veteran Derek Chisora was oozing with confidence when he tabbed Dillian Whyte to defeat Tyson Fury on Saturday night, before a crowd of 94,000 at Wembley Stadium in London.

Chisora know both fighters very well. He fought both Fury and Whyte, twice.

Chisora lost a controversial twelve round split decision to Whyte in 2016. Two years later, Chisora was ahead on points when he suffered a knockout loss in the twelfth round. Both fights were wild back-and-forth wars.

In 2011, Fury easily outboxed Chisora over twelve rounds. Two years later, Fury broke down and stopped Chisora in ten rounds.

Not only was Chisora backing Whyte to win, but he also felt his former foe would end the bout by knockout.

“I’m willing to put my house on it. I’m willing to put my house on Dillian Whyte knocking Tyson Fury out. Look at your faces in the studio! Tyson is my mate and I know he’s listening – Tyson, you’re going to get knocked out," Chisora told Talk Sport.

On Saturday, Chisora stayed firm on his prediction and made a face-to-face wager with former world champion Joseph Parker, who staked his own home on Fury knocking out Whyte.

Things did not end well for Chisora, as Fury controlled the entire contest and knocked Whyte out with a single uppercut in the sixth round.

After the fight was over, Fury could not resist taking a dig at Chisora's prediction.

“Derek Chisora’s now homeless, sorry to everybody. He lost his house to Joseph Parker, so unlucky. And Derek – I have got a house next to my house in Morecambe, you are welcome anytime my brother. But the moral to the story is never bet your house on something unless you’re one million percent sure," Fury said.

“You can never be sure in the heavyweight division. Now he’s homeless, good luck to him.”
