I just pray nobody comes with excuses out of the two of us.”The face-off concluded with a warm exchange that underscored the “brotherhood” between the two veterans. Wilder, 40, urged Chisora to bring “everything”.”I need you to bring all the appliances that are not bolted down,” he stated.”I need you to bring the refrigerator if you can bring it up. I need it for myself. I am ready for it. I am healed, this is a healed Wilder.”Chisora welcomed the challenge with typical stoicism, leading Wilder to extend a personal invitation for a post-retirement trip to Alabama.”I’m definitely coming,” Chisora replied.Derek Chisora v Deontay WilderSaturday, 4 AprilListen on Sounds
