But it was his antics around the ring which caught the attention of eagle-eyed viewers.
One fan commented: “Chisora is like Salt Bae at a World Cup final.”
Salt Bae came under criticism during the Qatar World Cup for snatching the Jules Rimet trophy to perform his trademark sprinkle despite having not played a match.
The influencer chef’s antics saw Fifa launch an investigation into how he was allowed to Gatecrash the final, while he was then banned from attending the US Open Cup tournament.
In a similar vein, 39-year-old Chisora was able to photobomb a number of celebs photos, including boxing legend Mike Tyson and superstar footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.
Other fans online chipped in with similar comments.
One joked: “Derek Chisora giving off salt bae World Cup final vibes .”
A second said: “Chisora is going full Salt Bae in this fight. Wouldn’t be surprised if he wears the belt himself.”
