Derek Chisora Reacts to Joseph Parker Training With Andy Lee, Says Parker Will Never Be Like Tyson Fury

The renowned heavyweight, Derek Chisora, is all set to make his much-awaited comeback to the ring on May 1. He will battle out the Auckland native, Joseph Parker, in a 12-round heavyweight war. The matchup between this pair was touted for a long time, and after much effort from their promotions, this fight has finally come to fruition.

To prepare for this fight, Parker has joined hands with Tyson Fury’s trainer, Andy Lee.

However, Chisora isn’t really bothered about Parker training under Lee. Speaking to iFL TV, he said, “I always said, Andy Lee is a great trainer. He’s got a crunch down. He helped Tyson Fury beat Deontay Wilder. He’s (Parker) training with Tyson Fury in a camp, good luck to them. Is he ever going to be like Tyson Fury? No, he’s not!”

The last time Derek Chisora stepped inside the ring was against another heavyweight sensation, Oleksandr Usyk. This was Chisora’s first WBO inter-continental heavyweight title defense, and here he succumbed to a disheartening unanimous decision loss.

Ever since then, ‘War’ has been in search of a rugged opponent to make his comeback to the game. And no one better than the resilient Parker can provide him with a classic in-ring test.

Prior to this clash, Chisora seems in the most optimistic mindset and is looking forward to securing a thunderous win on May 1.
