Dereck Chisora slaps Vitali Klitschko during weigh-in, assuring annihilation (video)
By 
On Saturday, Feb. 18, Dereck Chisora will be the heavy, heavy underdog in his bout with 6’7″ heavyweight bruiser Vitali Klitschko. During the official weigh-in for the big fight, Chisora foolishly smacked Klitschko. Hard.
BBC Sport boxing reporter Mike Costello was there and he submitted this description of the chaotic events:
“Somehow, Klitschko refrained from hitting back,” said Costello. “He looked shocked. It has never happened to him before.”
Chisora, 28, is a big underdog going into the fight but insisted on Thursday he would take Klitschko’s title.
“I will end the Klitschko reign and cause a massive upset,” said the Londoner. “It is the end for Vitali, I promise you.”
According to Costello, Chisora hit out at Klitschko as they posed for photographs following the weigh-in.
“Chisora leant back and slapped Klitschko hard – very hard – with his right hand on the left-hand side of Klitschko’s face,” he said.
“[It was] quite disgraceful behaviour from Chisora.”
Video follows.
Uh, yeah. Bad Idea Act of Aggression. As the saying goes, “Never wake a sleeping giant.” Chisora just did. Literally.
I’m no boxing expert, nor am I well-versed in the many vagaries that go into the art of pugilism, but slapping a guy who will likely impart a severe beatdown upon you comes across as simply foolish. And as far as Chisora’s ultimate fate in the bout is concerned, allow me to quote the great fictional boxer Clubber Lang and say my prediction for the fight is…
Pain.
Beat that boy… He slapped you like a beaouch…
The slap by Dereck Chisora was so unprofessional and unprovoked. The boxing commissioner should fine him all of his financial gain and still make him box the match so that Vitali Klitschko can smack him down like the little thug B**ch that he is.
So, he is a common criminal for hire…why?
He assaulted the man that gave him an opportunity to earn his respect by performing in the ring, but he paid him back by seeking his 15 minutes of fame outside the ring in an unprovoked attack. What was so hard to understand about that.
It does not matter anymore anyway. Chisora got his but kicked durring the sanctioned fight and will not likley get another opportunity.
The worst punishment he can receive is to be put in the ring with Klitschko.
You are so right Andy. Dereck stoled on Vitali a true punk move.He thinks this will give him some props in the ring. The look on Vitali face, reminds me of the movie, “I’m going to get you sucka, you dirty M…F…” Dereck is really scared of this man, he knew someone would come between them.
Vitali uses his head and will save the beat down for the ring.
Ummmm, no. The slapper believes he can win. You arm chair school girls, who want to see a fight, got what you asked for. These two will be slugging it out with bad intentions. Vitali looked surprised? Ok, you are in the fight game, you have the title, why surprised?
Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) went directly to Sonny Liston. All the school girls were clammoring for Ali to get beat, but nope, the school girls had to take his title away later.
If you aren’t in the ring, then just enjoy the fight.
so chisora is the next Ali?
spoken like a true school girl…
This guy definitely crossed the line, there is definitely bad intentions on his behalf. By no means did Klitschko have to expect this act of ignorance. The fight is in the ring not at weigh in, Talking is one thing but when you actually slap someone; now that is disrespectful. R.I.P Dereck Chisora
Greg,
Doc drop you on your head at birth, or were you born retarded?
Doc drop me on head at birth.
What the hell makes you such an expert? dmf
Wish I could have been there so I could punch Chisora in that brillo head of his! What a little boy move that was!
Your an idiot!
You’re*
Honestly if you’re going to insult someone by calling them an idiot, use proper grammar. Dumbass
Actually that’s a spelling error and spelling isn’t the same as grammar. If YOU’RE going to insult someone by calling them a dumbass, maybe you should make sure you’re not actually making a fool of yourself at the time.
No dumbass, the incorrect use of a contraction is a grammatical error. Spelled wrong yes, but grammatical error.
HAHA OWNED!!!!
lmao thats wild
YOUR’E all forgetting about the fight!
LOL!!! Funniest reply yet..
Actually it’s stupid ass, not “dumbass”!
Ya, it just goes to show you how much pumptitude that baby man has by being such a girly man. I mean slapping… that is so un manly
I agree. He deserved to beat!
Yeth, that ith tho unmanly. Guess what, girls, it was meant to be an insult and a direct statement that the Champ’s time is over.
Probably not true, but you will all find out when the Ref is raising someone’s hand. You armchair school girls are annoying. Get in the ring or shutup.
your the little bitch that has a dumb comment for everything, you get in the ring or shutup ya punk ass wannabee internet gangsta..
I’ve been in the ring son, I was never disrespectfull to an apponent. The days when he is better than me he wins. Those days that I was better I won. I enjoyed beatting down the loud mouth punks. In my day, Boxing was a sport for men. These days women are permitted to box as well. Maybe Chisora would like to try slapping Laila Ali, she would be more than happy to kick his a** as well.
hopefully he beats his n_igger ass into the ground what a bitch
Hey dutch…… I bet you just love being able to say the “N” word with inpunity. Just because that boxer acted like an ass, it does not give you the right to use that kind of language. I just imagine you as a coward who is a closet racist. Here’s something doucshe (oops, I mean dutch) express your anger towards the one who deserves it, not the ones who secretly wish you were……….
People who use that word is just another cowart hiding behind a computer. Our country is full of cowarts and thats why we are in such a sad state as a nation. Young men and women are dying everyday in other countries so your sorry @#$ could sit behind your computer and write racist comments. How about taking your sorry @#$ down to the local military recruiting station and sign up to be a really man for once in your sorry @#$ life!
Please forgive Dutch (Doutche LOL).
He had a bad experience in high school. Dutch’s boyfriend left him for some Mandingo track star and Dutch hasn’t got over it. Dutch now studies jujitsu and is spending his life dedicated to understanding the triangle choke from masculine black guys.
I bet this n_igger could beat your ass in the ground dutch! Let’s make it happen and put it on YouTube.
New age Kimbo Slice?
What a friigin idiot, Slapping someone in the face first will get your a hole kicked,
Thia clown looks like a MS 13 wana be gang banger, The only thing he is going to get banged is his mellon.
Refering to yourself as the name racist white people have put on your race in the past makes you a complete fool J Pitt. I think it’s time you decide to get an education. My son is half African American and half Caucasion and we would never dream of him calling himself the N word. You should stop hateing!
Ummm, HulllOoooo? J Pitts was telling that fool to put up or shut up.
Secondly, hellloooo, black people (not all) tend to use the N word as much as the racists do.
To those who want to argue semantics, (we do not all call each other N*******), hush and wake up. There is a portion (large or small, just go to any mall or catch any bus, or sit in a high school cafeteria- go ahead, I dare you to) and my point will be proven. For better or worse, the N word stands next to the word “ain’t” as a de facto word in many subcultures of the hip hop generation.
Just watch the fight and hush.
he gonna beat the s*** outta him for that!!!
And still, no one will purchase the PPV.
Klitchkos will win against everyone in boxing heavyweight right now.
But wait till Badr Hari (K1 Grand Prix Champion Kickboxer) moves to boxing and takes them on.
Oh and this African-British fighter is joke, he can’t even control himself out of the ring.
I hope he demolishes Chisora for that cheapshot. If Dereck loses, then he is just a clown nobody should take seriously.
The bad thing about stuff like this that nobody thinks about is that if for whatever reason Klitschko was injured the fight would be off or postponed unecessarily.
big deal, slap or no slap, a pro will not let that throw him off this fight plan. He might inflict a beating on Dereck, but the slap will be talk of forever. remembered by all boxing aficinados, along with the win or the loss as the case maybe. I would not count the Londoner out completely.. Luckier things have happened in the ring..
Are you serious with the comments on here. It has gone from racist comments, grammer, name calling, and everything else but what the post is about basically. What’s up people! Keep your mindset on the topic before posting your comment. The comments are being read before (as I have) posting what your opinion was on the incident. Personally, I hope he gets knocked out for slapping him. I wanted Chisora to win, I like underdogs. Now, he deserves to get knocked out! Can I read anymore opinions on what the post is about?
I want to see Klitchco knock this black bastard out of the ring and end his boxing career forever.
It is always racial with IGNORANT ASSHOLES!!!
Why can’t he just be a bastard Ron? Black? I wonder if your vocabulary for adjectives are limited. I have a question for those who leave comments. What if every time you left a comment your face, name, address, and current location came up on the screen. How many racist derogatory comments would be left? How about it…Ron Lehr?
Go sit in a tree and eat a banana and scratch your fleas
LOL!!! COWARD!!!!
I was all staged to sell more tickets!!! Heavy weight boxing revenues are down because there is no one exciting enough in the sport to draw the TV contracts like Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, etc.
Could it be a ploy to promote the fight or a cheap shot from a wana be thug with no class..
Chisora was trying to hype the fight for more money…unfortunately, it’s the wrong way…it just shows how unprofessional he is..it just shows also his beast character…hope Vitali knock him out for good in the first round…he is not just unprofessional but..most of all stupid….
Let me tell you how stupid. He got fined $50,000. That is stupid. I agree Bobby!! Get fined…$50,000 – Get knocked out…Priceless.
What was his promised take for the match?
I’m not sure Rod. The only thing I know it’s 50 grand less from his pocket win or lose.
Klitchco is going top beat that little monkey to within a inch of his monkey life
haha
Typical move. Cheap shot the white guy. I hope whitey treats him like the animal he is and makes him learn some respect. But then again, look what we’re talking about. Go back to your tribe or the tree your family is from. Ape
LOL!!!! MAN THE COMPUTER TURNS GEEKS INTO GORRILLAS!!!!
For real!!!
You don’t just b*tch slap someone and think you can walk away. Chisora is going to get beat pretty good by Klitschko.
I don’t think the intent was to walk away…Let’s not forget this guy is a professionally trained fighter as well. He could beat “THE MIGHTY RUSSIAN”!!!
Now our white friends know that if this were two white fighters it would be built as an epic battle of two warriors that have a genuine dislike for each other. One from a priviledged military background and the other a hard fighting South London blote calmmering to be respected by his peers and the rest of the fight world!!! LOL… Cut it out man, ya’ll keyboard thuggin’ up here…lol
