CHISORA V WILDER – DENZEL BENTLEY

About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming fight between Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder, featuring an interview with Denzel Bentley.

Who’d have thought that the war-torn Derek Chisora would ever start as favourite to beat Deontay Wilder, once the most explosive of heavyweights? But that’s where we are with Wilder exhibiting wear and tear and Chisora, by comparison, chugging along, surprising well. Which leads us to the question; Who wins? And what does that win look like? We hear from Denzel Bentley who talks candidly about layoffs, making ends meet, drug cheats and loyalty. It’s an interview not to be missed. Much like The Opening Bell!
