This one is reminiscent of the time when Floyd Mayweather, Jr. choked Victor Ortiz at their weigh-in last September 2011.
The only difference is that, instead of choking, there is slapping.
When challenger Dereck Chisora entered the venue, you will immediately think that he is up to no good as half of his face is covered with an Union Jack bandana; which reminds us of Hannibal Lecter.
At the customary stare-down at the weigh-in with Vitali Klitschko, Chisora slaps the champion at the left cheek.
Luckily for him, the Ukrainian giant did not retaliate saying,
“I am going to hit back on Saturday. He will get his beating.”
Chisora better be prepared as he is the underdog in every sense of the word.
Klitschko stands at 6’7″ with a 6-inch reach advantage over the British Chisora who is only 6’0″
Rated by the Ring Magazine as the number ten pound-for-pound boxer in the world, Klitschko has not lost since 2003 and has been the world champion for eight years already.
Watch the slapping incident:
Vitali Klitschko vs Dereck Chisora is a boxing match for the WBC Heavyweight title to be held on February 18, 2012 at the Olympiahalle, Munich, Bayern, Germany.
