Derek Chisora continues to shock the public, as per usual.While appearing on talkSPORT Boxing with Simon Jordan, Spencer Oliver and Paul Smith, Chisora was asked about his thoughts on the fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Rico Verhoeven, who will face each other on May 23. Verhoeven competed in GLORY as a kickboxer and is considered one of the greatest kickboxers of all time, but he’s entering the fight on Saturday as a +1360 underdog. This didn’t stop Chisora from shocking the panel and picking the fighter who has been given little to no chance of winning.Chisora picks Verhoeven to beat UsykRico verhoeven | IMAGO / ANP"Watch this, I think [Oleksandr] Usyk loses this fight in Egypt."Derek Chisora“Oh shut up, Derek, no you don’t.
