‘Are you serious?’ – Derek Chisora calls out journalist during press conference for hilarious phone gaffe

EntertainmentSports‘Are you serious?’ – Derek Chisora calls out journalist during press conference for hilarious phone gaffe

Derek Chisora called out journalist Gareth A Davies for using his phone during a hilarious press conference moment.

The British boxing veteran will return in his 49th professional fight against Otto Wallin at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester this weekend.

It is expected to be his final bow on home soil and the popular heavyweight had the media whipped up into a frenzy for his potential last press conference in the UK.

‘WAR’ has become one of the most entertaining figures in the sport, and his brash-talking personality and hilarious one-liners have become a common theme of fight week proceedings.

And like traditionally accustomed, Chisora had the room in raptures again with his latest gag.

Davies, a regular on talkSPORT, was one of the many media figures who watched on as Chisora came face-to-face with Wallin on stage.

Chisora was just going through his final speech in a rallying cry to progress beyond Wallin in the ring, before hearing a phone.

He ended his sentence before shouting: “Hey mate, Davies, hey mate. Is that your phone?

“I’m trying to work here, do I come to your workplace and make noise while I’m working?

“No I’m just asking you, I’m trying to work here and sell a fight and you’re busy taking phone calls.

“Are you serious? The disrespect you have shown me there, are you serious?”

Davies then rose to his feet and showed the phone to the camera, where he was looking at Chisora’s professional boxing record.

‘WAR’ who had a wry grin on his face began laughing and continued: “Everybody knows my record, it’s shit and zero.”

Someone in the crowd then comically booed and he joined in before, bursting out laughing along with many others in the room.

Of course the exchange was light-hearted, before he concluded: “It’s alright man, we love you bro.”

Chisora shared a laugh with the audience, but talk soon returned to business as he plots another big win over the rugged Swede.

The winner will now receive higher stakes than expected, with the bout to be an IBF eliminator for the No.2 spot in the world rankings.

Chisora and Wallin will go head-to-head this weekend

And the Finchley native has vowed as always to deliver his front-foot and aggressive approach to have his hand raised for a final time on domestic shores.

He added: “This is a big fight, for me and also the Viking – he’s not a Viking anymore, he lives in New York.

“I’m buzzing for this fight, it’s gonna be one exciting fight, I tell you that. Do not sit down, I’m gonna drown this guy.

“Otto can play poker, he’s got a good poker face. I’ve sat here 49 times and they all say the same things.

“I know for a fact when I get in there, I love pain, I love war, so I’m excited for it.

“The only fighter that’s stood toe-to-toe with me was Dillian [Whyte]. I don’t think he’s gonna stand toe-to-toe.

“He’s on the run. There’s nowhere to run. You’re going to have to hit me like a truck for me to stop coming. I am coming. I will get to you.”
