“The heavyweight fight of the Year” a dopey Herald sub-editor proclaimed re the matching of Joseph Parker with the ageing Dereck Chisora. It’s unbelievable.
Chisora has lost five of his last twelve bouts for God’s sake and his proposed bout with Joseph has been ignored in the British press.
This announcement followed a week after news that the long awaited Fury-Joshua title fight was confirmed, both to receive several hundred million dollars, a reflection of the real fight of the year, indeed in British boxing history, the most awaited contest ever.
