DERECK CHISORA AND Dillian Whyte were never likely to wait until they were in the ring before going at it, but few would have expected this afternoon’s press conference to turn into a table-throwing farce.
Whyte defends his British heavyweight title against Chisora in Manchester on Saturday night, and when the two sat down to face the media, there was a significant security presence there to keep them apart.
The pair were seated at opposite ends of a (longer than usual) table, but that didn’t stop Chisora.
“I am the baddest man you’ll ever fucking meet,” he swore, accusing Whyte of making threats against his life before picking it up the desk in front of him, lifting it over his head and flinging it in Whyte’s direction.

I love this positivity from Collins!
You can’t even beat Greece ffs
@john doe: They can barely beat Gibraltar at home.
I have nothing against this team and setup but it’s time to start concentrating on getting the grassroots and facilities up to standard i.e. concentrat on teams to come in the future.
@Stanley Marsh: To be fair, we put as many past Gibraltar as France, Netherlands and Greece did.
@Eoin McCarthy: oh wow. Another moral victory for us so. We’re as good as France.
Ffs
@Eoin McCarthy: Oh well, I take back everything I said then!!
WHOOSH!!!
@Stanley Marsh: 18 players given debuts,that’s for the future
@Larry Betts: Yes, but what kind of future in the short to medium term?
There is a bizarre scenario for us that to qualify for the play offs we need most of the teams ranked higher than us in the Nations league to qualify automatically through these qualifying groups. One of those teams is The Netherlands. So technically if they beat us it improves our chance of getting a play off.
@Gearóid MacEachaidh: whatever happened to just the top 2 qualifying.
What on earth is Kenny putting in the Irl teams drinking water ?
The latest extraordinary uttering has Collins saying that they can beat France.”Incredible”.
Judging by his performance on Monday,Collins would have difficulty getting in the Gibraltar side.
Kenny must be shown the door now. His tactical awareness is non existent,and leads his team up blind alleys.
Yes delusion is the name of the game by all at the
F A I.
Headless chickens come to mind.

@marc anders: what are you talking about? On one hand you are saying that the players shouldn’t have belief in themselves to get the best out of themselves and on the other hand you’re saying Collins wouldn’t get on the Gibraltar team.. which obviously isn’t even remotely true!
April fools day is long gone. Please be a great player that you are. Don’t talk like that Please. Chance came and went
Oh Holy mother…..
#positivity #delusional
they should have asked him before he got steamed up.
Technical yes we can
Realistically we won’t
It’s that easy sum up Irelands chances.
We shouldn’t be trying to “Nick” a result from anyone
Stop it. Please.
