The Reform UK leader has come under fire in recent weeks
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage appeared to gatecrash Derek Chisora’s pre-fight media commitments ahead of his upcoming bout against former WBC heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder .This led to huge backlash from fans, which caused the club to release a statement before Ipswich chair and chief executive Mark Ashton apologised for “any hurt, pain or distress” caused by Farage’s visit.
Despite this, Farage has continued to place himself around influential sporting figures, with the Reform UK leader even gatecrashing Chisora’s interview withDuring the British veteran’s interview with Donald McRae, Farage slipped into the room before shaking the boxer’s hand.“How are you?” Farage asked Chisora before the Londoner said things were “going well”.“He never stops, this bloke,” Farage joked before the conversation switched to the politician’s recent trip to the US. “America was good,” the 61-year-old continued. “It was short, only there 30 hours, but it was all right and I’ve been doing rallies and God knows what round the country. So it’s all good, it’s all good, it’s all good. It’s all good.” The former UKIP leader then explained how he would be in attendance at what he claims will be Chisora’s “last professional fight” against Wilder this Saturday. After Farage had exited, Chisora explained that he had met the Clacton MP several years earlier through a mutual friend.Attention then turned to American politics and US President Donald Trump. When asked whether he was still a Trump fan, having previously voiced support for the president, Chisora replied: “I was a fan of Trump, but not this latest stuff . He stopped seven wars and started another one.” He added: “The ones at the top are making money and the ones at the bottom are not. We’ve got war in Europe, in the Middle East, in Africa. Nobody wins. Not us. People die, people are burying their kids.” On Saturday, politics will no doubt be the furthest thing from Chisora’s focus when he takes on the dangerous Wilder in what will be the Brit’s 50th professional contest and quite possibly his last.Barry Hearn sends message to Ronnie O'Sullivan over snooker future as Crucible prediction made
