Pulev beat Chisora comfortably in their first meeting six years ago
In their 2016 fight, the Bulgarians emerged victorious by split decision.
Since then Chisora has had a mix of results, notching a tremendous win over Carlos Takam but also suffering losses to Dillian Whyte, Joseph Parker and Oleksandr Usyk and he is currently on a three game losing streak.
As for Pulev, he fought for the unified world heavyweight titles less than two years ago, but he was knocked out in the ninth round by Anthony Joshua and since then he has only fought once. .
As fight night approached, Chisora and Pulev sat down with promoter Eddie Hearn for a showdown and the majority was pretty standard, with ‘Del Boy’ saying he should have won the first fight and this time he’s going for the knockout.
The conversation then turned to Pulev’s latest outing, when he fought what was essentially a ten-round “busy” fight against Jerry Forrest and won comfortably by unanimous decision.
Chisora slammed Pulev for taking the fight. saying he only likes to fight the biggest and best names, otherwise he would have a hard time motivating himself to train.
It’s a fair and understandable point, but what Chisora came out next confused everyone.

Pulev, whose first language is not English, looked more confused than anyone by Chisora’s bizarre rant
“Basically that’s how it is yeah.” Chisora began, “You have Miss Universe over there and you have a chick from Timbuktu somewhere fat and smelly p****.
“Which one do you want to go? Which one do you prefer to wake up and get a hard on?
“I’m getting a hard-on for you, that’s what I’m trying to explain to you. So, you gotta understand, I’m gonna get fierce and vicious, mate.
Our response is the same as Matchroom Boxing, who tweeted the clip with the caption “WTF.”
Chisora vs Pulev 2 will take place on July 9 at the O2 Arena in London, you can get tickets here.
