By John F. McKenna (McJack): Dereck Chisora (15-2, 9 KO’s) is taking his title shot against World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s) very seriously. Chisora will be fighter Vitali on February 18, 2012 in Munich, Germany in a fight which most boxing fans give him little chance at emerging victorious. But sometimes when a fighter is going after the biggest prize in sports he fights above himself.

Klitschko-Chisora: Can Vitali handle Dereck’s pressure?
Delay in negotiations forced Vitali to opt for Chisora

McKenna (McJack): World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s) has revealed that the lengthy negotiations in putting together his proposed fight with former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-2, 23 KO’s) forced him to opt to fight Dereck Chisora (15-2, 10 KO’s) on February 18, 2012.
Chisora pushed to #15 spot in WBC rankings
By Scott Gilfoid: Well, it looks like WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s) has been given the cover he needed in picking out 2nd tier heavyweight Dereck Chisora (15-2, 9 KO’s) to fight on February 18th at the Olympiahalle, in Munich, Germany. When the fight first announced, Chisora wasn’t even ranked in the top 15 and I was wondering how on earth the 40-year-old Vitali was getting away with fighting a non-top 15 ranked fighter.

By Scott Gilfoid: Most people don’t have a clue why WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s) combed through the 2nd tier ranks to pick out B level fighter Dereck Chisora (15-2, 9 KO’s) to fight on February 18th instead of a more deserving top tier fighter on winning run and with some size to them.
Chisora the best pressure fighter Vitali has faced since Corrie Sanders
By Sean McDaniel: WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s) will be dealing with the best pressure fighter he’s faced in many years when he defends his title against the hard hitting Joe Frazier-like Dereck Chisora (15-2, 9 KO’s) on February 18th at the Olympiahalle in Munich, Germany.

Chisora: I’m going to send Vitali into retirement on February 18th
By Scott Gilfoid: If there’s anything that Dereck Chisora (15-2, 9 KO’s) is good for its hyping fight and giving good quotes. Other than that, Chisora is way, way over his head in his February 18th fight against WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s) and it’s completely laughable to see Chisora talking boldly but without the power, size or skills to back it up.
Chisora-Klitschko: How can Vitali be fighting a guy that’s not even ranked in the top 15?
By Scott Gilfoid: I don’t know if anyone’s noticed but Britain’s Dereck Chisora (15-2, 9 KO’s) isn’t even ranked in the top 15 by the World Boxing Council or any of the sanctioning bodies for that matter. How WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s) can be fighting this guy is beyond me.
