In an interview with iFL TV, Derek Chisora ripped into Tyson Fury over their somewhat potential fight. When Chisora was asked about the matchup, he stated:

"Tyson's got bipolar, man."

Chisora explained that he received a call from Tyson about a fight for $2 million and asked to have the contract sent to his email, but has yet to receive anything.

He added:

"He's retired now. He's got bipolar. I think the British public are tired of his f*cking bullsh*t now. If you're going to retire, then go retire and just enjoy all the money you made."

Coming into his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua has been pinned as the underdog. After losing a unanimous decision to Usyk last year in their first fight, Joshua now seeks to defy the odds and reclaim his belts this Saturday night in Jeddah, Saudia Arabia.

As the pressure mounts for Joshua to prove himself, during the press conference in Jeddah, he stated:

"[I] must win. I like the pressure. I want to compete, I'm looking forward to it. I can't really say much else. You've got to have a competitive spirit. We've set goals. I've got goals I want to achieve in the ring on the night. I need to be disciplined enough to follow them through."
