Derek Chisora vs Kubrat Pulev 2 Prediction
This rematch has been six years in the making, with Chisora having a tonne of incredible fights in the interim, as well as Pulev having challenged Anthony Joshua for three of the world heavyweight title belts.
This time around, the fight seems to be more of an interesting one than the original. First time around, the fight was in Germany, with a very pro-Pulev crowd. At that time, Pulev’s only defeat was to Wladimir Klitschko, and was still deemed as one of the most dangerous heavyweights in the world.
On the flipside, Chisora was travelling away from home, wasn’t putting on the most spectacular of performances, and was a big underdog with the bookmakers. However, this time around, despite still being the betting underdog, it seems the switch has flicked and boxing fans are giving Chisora every chance of writing the wrongs of the first fight.
Since they last fought, Chisora has had some real close fights with the likes of Dillian Whyte, Joseph Parker, and even current heavyweight king, Oleksandr Usyk, who Chisora gave huge problems for several rounds. He has also had emphatic victories over the likes of Carlos Takam and Artur Szpilka.
That is what makes this fight so interesting. Although both men are six years older, it seems Pulev is the one who has aged more overnight, with Chisora somewhat enjoying a second career.
Here at SportsLens, we are willing to put our necks on the line and say that Derek Chisora will overturn the result of the first fight, and come away from the O2 Arena on Saturday night…
