Whyte vs Chisora: David Haye gives prediction and makes ‘nervous’ admission

Whyte and Chisora rematch at the O2 Arena with the winner set to fight for a world title.

The pair previously fought in 2015 at the same venue, with Whyte coming out victorious after a dramatic 12-round slugfest.

Since beating Chisora, Whyte has been somewhat in limbo, having defeated former world champion Joseph Parker and Lucas Browne.

However he has been unable to secure a world title challenge, and now takes on his old foe with the hope of being able to face either Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder.

And Chisora’s manager/trainer David Haye explained that Whyte will be unable to live at the pace that the Brixton fighter will be bringing.

“Dillian looks in the form of his life, I saw him at his public workout and he looked ripped, he looked sharp,” he told iFL TV.

“The only chink in his armor that I saw was his nervousness in his eyes at the press conference.

“A lot of nervous fighters are good fighters, it doesn’t mean he’s a bad fighter.

“It just means when he puts his head down on his pillow at night and asks ‘can I fight a 12-round slugfest? Or do I have to box? If I have to box, what happens if he gets past my jab? If it turns into a slugfest, can I live in that world?’”

Since working with Haye, Chisora has improved on his physique and conditioning.

The former heavyweight champion declared that ‘War’ Chisora will be bigger than before, yet still able to keep up the pace throughout the fight.

“He’s 113-114 kilos of solid muscle, a lot more than he was last time,” Haye said.

“Can Dillian maintain the war? Can he live through the war? I don’t think he can.

“I’ve never seen him do it before, he likes to take breaks, he likes to walk around behind the jab.

“I don’t think Dillian can do it, that’s why my prediction is Dereck Chisora late stoppage. If it goes to points it’ll be a very one-sided points decision.”
