Dereck Chisora backs Anthony Joshua

ZIMBABWEAN born British boxer, Dereck Chisora is backing Anthony Joshua to beat Wladimir Klitschko but says he may have to “go hunting” in the early stages of the fight.

Dereck Chisora is a former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion. He is also a European heavyweight champion

Joshua will make the third defence of his IBF title against Klitschko and the vacant WBA ‘super’ belt is also at stake in Saturday’s showdown at Wembley, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Klitschko will be making his record-breaking 28th world title fight, compared to Joshua’s 19th professional outing but is still the underdog as far as the bookmakers are concerned.

Chisora, who fights Robert Helenius in Helsinki next month, believes the Brit will prevail on Saturday night, but admits he will have to be patient.

“It’s a massive fight and it’s going to be a hard fight for AJ,” he said. “AJ has got power but Klitschko has got power too.

“I see Klitschko boxing and moving so AJ is going to have to go hunting for the first six rounds, if it goes to six rounds.

“My money is on AJ.” -news.sky.com
