The boxing world is abuzz with the unexpected pause in the heartwarming friendship between two heavyweights. 'The Bromance', as fans have affectionately dubbed it, between Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora, has hit a temporary roadblock. But why? It's all in the name of sportsmanship and a highly anticipated fight.
Chisora, known for his social media antics, has been eagerly sharing videos, expressing his affection for Wilder. But in a surprising turn of events, the two have decided to put their friendship on hold. The reason? They're gearing up for a potential fight, which is almost set for April 4 in London.
Chisora recently teased fans with a video, signing what appeared to be a contract for a bout with the former WBC champion, Wilder. However, this move was slightly premature, as Queensberry Promotions still held promotional rights over Chisora's next fight, which would be his 50th and final professional match. The Wilder-Chisora clash, though, was destined to be promoted by the Sauerland brothers, who briefly guided Chisora's career in the past.
In the latest video, Chisora brandishes a supposed fight contract and chats with Wilder via video call. The two exchange words of encouragement and affection, with Wilder promising, 'I love you, bro... Next time I see you it will be at the press conference and then we'll be in the ring.'
The fight is expected to take place in a London arena, possibly the O2, and Sky Sports is rumored to broadcast it on pay-per-view. But here's where it gets intriguing: Sky Sports, currently without boxing on their schedule, has yet to fully commit to the event.
And this is the part most fans are eagerly awaiting. Will the fight happen? Will 'The Bromance' resume after the dust settles? Only time will tell, but the boxing community is buzzing with excitement and speculation.
What do you think? Are you team Bromance or team Let's-Get-Ready-to-Rumble?
