Derek Chisora offers to hire tank for Nigel Farage | Boxing News
British boxing stalwart Derek Chisora has provided to hire a tank for Nigel Farage so that the Reform chief can show up for the ultimate battle of his profession against Deontay Wilder this weekend. Chisora, 42, will face the previous champion in London on Saturday evening. The conflict would be the Brit’s fiftieth and closing battle. Although Chisora never grew to become a world champion himself, he has shared the squared circle with the likes of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
While he has brushed shoulders with some of the game’s superstars, it seems he counts Farage among his movie star buddies too. In an interview with The Guardian, the boxer met the firebrand politician, whose get together he has backed in the past, and a dialogue ensued over how he would get Farage into the O2 Arena for his farewell battle.
“I shall be there at his next fight, his last professional fight,” Farage said upon meeting the boxer in a restaurant. Chisora then looked the Reform man up and down, saying: “I might hire a tank and then you roll up in it.” Farage responded: “Someone suggested this.”
Chisora was born in Zimbabwe but moved to Britain when he was 16. The fighter was asked about his good relationship with Farage, whose party was previously hit with allegations of racism, and Farage himself was accused of such behaviour during his school days.
Reform candidate Matt Goodwin’s interim campaign manager in Tameside, Adam Mitula, was discovered to have posted messages containing the N-word on social media. He also accused Black fathers of being “the best in leaving muims [sic] with no support” and mentioned “Muslim no go ghettos in the UK”.
Chisora was steadfast in his perception that Farage’s get together is not racist – it is just politics. He said: “You’re always going to find people trying to fight for what’s theirs. I don’t call it racism.
“I call it politics. If people help Trump, they’re told, ‘Oh, you’re a racist.’ Nigel’s come up with his get together, and now it’s, ‘He was a racist.’ Everybody who’s not with the left? You’re racist.”
Regarding Farage’s strict immigration policy, Chisora added: “I’m Zimbabwean. My [three] children are British.” He also turned his attention to another controversial politician across the pond, President Trump.
Asked if he is a fan of the commander-in-chief, Chisora said: “I was a fan of Trump, but not this latest stuff [the Iran conflict]. He stopped seven wars and started another one. The ones at the top are making money, and the ones at the bottom are not. We’ve got war in Europe, in the Middle East, in Africa. Nobody wins. Not us. People die, people are burying their kids. Who are the good politicians?
“I’m pals with Nigel. His politics are his politics; it’s nothing to do with me.” Chisora and Wilder will face off on the night of Saturday, April 4, with the battle set to get underway around 10pm.
