Paulie Malignaggi<\/a> has strong views on who will come out on top when Derek Chisora<\/a> and Deontay Wilder<\/a> come up against one another in the ring.<\/p>\n

This is an intriguing match-up between veteran heavyweights<\/a>. Both men have had 49 fights, and both are now over 40 years of age.<\/p>\n

Chisora is the more in-form, having beaten Otto Wallin, Gerald Washington and Joe Joyce in his last three fights, while Wilder has fought just once in well over a year when he stopped Tyrrell Herndon after a torrid few years that saw him twice get stopped by Tyson Fury, knocked out by Zhilei Zhang and beaten on points by Joseph Parker.<\/p>\n

Speaking to New Betting Offers<\/a>, Malignaggi didn\u2019t pull any punches with his prediction that \u2018Del Boy\u2019 will win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would be shocked if Chisora doesn\u2019t knock him out, probably in the first 6 rounds, and Chisora doesn\u2019t have a lot left either, but one thing about Chisora, he comes out 100 miles an hour for the first few rounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I don\u2019t know that Deontay, the way he\u2019s been looking, can deal with a guy coming at him at 100 miles an hour. He doesn\u2019t really have that set himself and punch and confidently rip into you type of stuff that he used to do before, and he\u2019s gonna have to get that started right away.<\/p>\n

\u201cPower\u2019s the last thing to go. If Deontay can set and fire, he may be able to catch him, but Chisora relies heavily on backing you up, and Wilder\u2019s not a good fighter when he backs up. We\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilder has continued with his claims that Fury cheated when they fought, which has led Fury to reach out with a message of support and concern for his old foe<\/a>. Another loss here for \u2018The Bronze Bomber\u2019 would surely be the end for the former WBC champion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paulie Malignaggi has strong views on who will come out on top when Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":426183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-426182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=426182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/426183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=426182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=426182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
