FINCHLEY boxer Derek Chisora has been denied his World Heavyweight title fight because champion Wladimir Klitschko has pulled out.
The titleholder is blaming a back injury for him ducking the bout in Mannheim, Germany, just two days before the opening bell.
Now Chisora, who learned his trade at Finchley and District ABC, has demanded Klitschko fight him.
“He offered the fight and he has to fight me. We want that fight,” blasted the 26 year-old.
“I'm looking to be big in this sport and then the guy pulled out.
“We've got a clause in our contract saying the fight is going to happen anyway but we'll just have to wait and see now,” he told the BBC.
