On 23 July, he fought Tyson Fury. Chisora dominated the opening rounds unleashing his big left hand on more than one occasion, leaving Tyson Fury worried, however he failed to make that advantage count. The next few rounds Fury got into the fight and by the half way stage was in front. After the half way stage Chisora got desperate when entering uncharted territory, neither man had gone beyond the 10th round, this is when Fury's stamina advantage came good. Chisora wildly swing numerous punches with a low hit rate, this ultimately lead him to become tired and Fury seized upon this, throwing combinations then holding on to Chisora to waste time. Despite a good fight, with Chisora landing some big left hands Fury won by unanimous decision.
Someone needs to re-word all this. 92.7.80.34 (talk) 18:07, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
The article says he stated he is bisexual. I do not agree this is a statement - they were discussing him kissing an opponent at a press conference in order to get under his skin. From watching the video clip cited as a reference, Chisora appears to be making the comment to wind-up Vitali Klitschko. Ganglandboss (talk) 16:11, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Yeah I agree, after watching the clip which is referenced the statement is clearly used to wind-up Klitschko and is purely used as joke. Cazza3012 (talk) 16:25, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
I have changed this section in the article to make it more relevant. Cazza3012 (talk) 16:35, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Haye was holding a bottle, with which he struck Chisora, then it was Haye who threw a tripod hurting his own trainer. "Chisora was filmed holding a glass bottle and was accused of glassing Booth." Why even write this sentence? Doesn't it give a false impression that Chisora was the one using the bottle as a weapon? I saw no video in which Chisora held a bottle, it was in the hands of Haye, he hit Chisora with the hand he held it, then it was rattling on the floor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avlee (talk • contribs) 22:51, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
It also says Haye entered the press conference in order to taunt Chisora over his loss. Haye didn't speak to Chisora, he spoke to Vitali's manager, it was Chisora who began talking to Haye. Haye was attending the fight as a professional pundit employed by a media company. This is clearly not written from NPOV.KhProd1 (talk) 08:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
This section also needs to be re-written as there are numerous spelling mistakes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.198.186.210 (talk) 09:41, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
I find Dereck Chisora's stunts disgusting, he should never be allowed to represent The United kingdom in boxing again. He is an embarrassment to the sport. Unfortunately the damage is done. I've seen boxing help many poor/troubled kids make something of their lives and improve peoples confidence. But Dereck Chisora's stupidity has probably made some kids think its cool to be an idiot. What a plonker! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.21.223.68 (talk) 23:44, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
on top of it: Chisora was arrested by German police for his part in the brawl and subsequently released after being charged.
he was NOT charged... even the cited source states:
"Mr Chisora was arrested after police went to the airport where he was at approximately 10.30am [German time] this morning," Munich police said. Chisora was later released without charge after questioning but a police spokesman, Gottfried Schlicht, told the Associated Press that Chisora could still face charges of causing grievous bodily harm.Avlee (talk) 20:31, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

On this page it reads,"Chisora was arrested by German police for his part in the brawl and subsequently released after being charged.[16][17]". This is not accurate because Chisora was released without charge. The sentence should therefore read: Chisora was arrested by German police for his part in the brawl but was subsequently released without charge.

We can either have a picture of Dereck Chisora alone (article version [1]), or a picture of Chisora with Alex Reid. I don't see any good reason for having the picture including Alex Reid, but clearly User:Darrenm540 disagrees. Does anyone else have any thoughts? --Michig (talk) 19:17, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
An IP address recently made several edits to this article, adding poor grammar, messing up the boxing record, along with pointless spaces between each character. These need to be reverted and removed. I've done my best but it's really something. Vember94 (talk) 11:47, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

The WBA international title Dereck Chisora won is now vacant and is being fought for tommorow night so I would request that the change states he is no longer the current champion and that the title does not have present from the date he won it. 92.239.205.101 (talk) 17:38, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

I wish to change the lead section to make it more consistent with the MOS by removing the mention of international and intercontinental titles, and moving the mention of professional achievements before amateur, as the examples in the MOS show.
My initial edit was reverted for no apparent reason so I thought I’d get some consensus here to prevent another edit war. The initial edit was...
Dereck Chisora (born 29 December 1983) is a Zimbabwean-born British professional boxer. He challenged once for the WBC heavyweight title against Vitali Klitschko in 2012. At regional level, he held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles from 2010 to 2011, and the EBU European heavyweight title from 2013 to 2014. As an amateur, he won the ABA super heavyweight championship. He holds notable wins over former world heavyweight title challengers Danny Williams, Kevin Johnson, Carlos Takam and Artur Szpilka, undefeated prospects Sam Sexton (twice) and Malik Scott, and Olympic bronze medalist David Price.
As you can see, very minor changes but makes the section more consistent with the MOS. 2.O.Boxing 18:23, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
