(“Where I come from, this is what happens to you when you come in smelling like cabbage during a staredown.”)
Dereck Chisora must think he’s the Paul Daley of boxing. The brash Brit today slapped WBC heavyweight kingpin Vitali Klitschko across the face during the staredown at the weigh-ins for their championship bout tomorrow night in Munich. He may not get as good of a shot past the Ukranian can-crusher’s juggernaut’s guard tomorrow night.
The Zimbabwe-born England-raised fighter is just 1-2 in his last three fights. Not sure how rankings work, but in the UFC you might have been fired, not given a title shot after a slide like that.

Chisora indicated last month that he planned on kissing Vitali during the staredown, but opted instead to give him a French punch on the chin. Enjoy your five minutes, Dereck. Unless you prefer that your five minutes be when you were in the news after you beat up your girlfriend two years ago.
