I’m not stupid, Chisora declines Itauma fight

British heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora has declined a proposed fight with rising star Moses Itauma, stating, "I’m not that stupid." The 42-year-old made the comments during an appearance on the boxing debate show Fight Your Corner, directly addressing his promoter, Frank Warren. Itauma, a 21-year-old British-Nigerian prospect, holds a professional record of 14 wins and 12 by knockout, but suffered his first defeat against Filip Hrgovic on August 29 in the IBF heavyweight title bid.

Despite the setback, Itauma remains unfazed, emphasizing that he gained valuable experience and will continue to learn as he prepares for future fights.
