Derek Chisora

Chisora is the kind of fighter I find easy to admire and hard to look away from. Born in Mbare, Zimbabwe, and raised into the brutal British heavyweight scene, he chased the WBC world title twice and never quite grabbed it, yet he stayed relevant for nearly two decades. To me his real trophy is that stubborn refusal to fold. British and Commonwealth belts in 2010 to 2011, the European title in 2013 to 2014, those tell you he kept showing up bloodied and pressing forward. I respect punchers; I love survivors. Chisora was both, and that endurance is what I will remember.
