LENNOX LEWIS SAYS CHISORA CAN UPSET VITALI KLITSCHKO By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 16 Feb 2012  Former world heavyweight champion and the last man to beat Vitali Klitschko believes British heavyweight Dereck Chisora can upset the giant Ukranian WBC champion when they clash in a title fight on Sunday, Manila Time, in Munich, Germany. Lewis said "Chisora has a chance. He is a real heavyweight. All he needs is a hit on the chin." But Lewis didn?t indicate how the much shorter Chisora who has lost two of his last three fights can achieve what most boxing experts believe is almost impossible. The burly Chisora who was born in Zimbabwe believes that Klitschko?s previous opponents were beaten even before they stepped into the ring but that he won?t make the same mistake. Chisora noted that "Before the bell, he (Klitschko) is nice to you, but then he wants to destroy you. Most of the guys had already lost to him before they stepped into the ring because they were trembling with fear. But I have pride and passion. I am the worst type of pest for him. I just need one right punch to knock him out." Klitschko has knocked out 40 of his opponents in winning 43 of 45 fights and with Chisora giving away 15 centimers in height and with a comparatively unimpressive record of 15-2 with 9 knockouts, his chances of scoring a knockout let alone winning seem remote. Chisora has promised "I will attack him from the start and hurt him." The Klitschko-Chisora title fight will be telecast on the highly rated weekly boxing show ?BIGTIME BAKBAKAN? at 12:00 noon on Sunday over AKTV IBC 13 right after Viva Sports ?The Main Event? which features a Johnriel Casimero special.
