WBC: Dereck Chisora will be fined for slapping Vitali Klitschko – Boxing news
The WBC will be fining Dereck Chisora for slapping WBC Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko right across the face on Friday night in Munich, Germany, at face-off for photographers.
Trainers and promoters of both the fighters were present at the ceremony when the incident took place.
Initially, both the sides were shocked even Vitali himself who never expected Dereck Chisora to come on him like this. However, today, announcement came in from WBC President Jose Sulaiman saying, “This is a blast to the expected fair play in sports and
it can not be condoned. It is time that strong measures are taken to bring respect, fair play and discipline in the sport of boxing.”
Vitali Klitschko was shocked because he never expected Dereck to do something like this. In fact, in the recent, Vitali has been praising Dereck’s skills and potential. However, after the slap, Vitali’s rage was uncontrollable. He was heard telling Dereck,
“You're fucked now, Dereck, you are really fucked. I'll be hitting him back tomorrow, in the ring. He's not all there.”
Vitali also claimed that Dereck’s act showed his cowardness and the fact that he is nervous to face him in the ring. He further said that after having it on the face from Dereck he knows what kind of a fighter he is since he slapped him with an open hand
like a woman.
The incident happened just when boxing analysts and former fighters were doubting Dereck’s capabilities to fight Vitali. Lennox Lewis, former Britain heavyweight champion, recently said in an interview that he is not sure as to whether Dereck should get
the opportunity to face Vitali or not. He also said that Dereck is not ready to face Vitali since he still lacks the experience needed to go head to head with such a fierce fighter.
On the other hand, Dereck Chisora expressing his frustration over Vitali said, “It was not planned. It was just something that happened and I did it because they [the Klitschko brothers] have messed me around for two years.”
Planned or unplanned, whatever happened has changed the scenario for Dereck. As the WBC has announced, Dereck Chisora will be fined for an unconditional amount.
