Derek Chisora has named Julius Caesar, Jesus Christ and Adolf Hitler amongst his list of dream dinner guests.
Chisora, 38, returned to winning ways last weekend by avenging his 2016 loss to Kubrat Pulev. In a thrilling rematch at The O2 Arena, Chisora narrowly come out on top with a split decision win over Pulev in a fight that got better as the rounds went on.
The heavyweight veteran was recently asked by The Times who he would invite for a dinner party, to which he said: "Jesus Christ, the Lord Saviour who made all men and women. Adolf Hitler, just to ask him why he did what he did. Julius Caesar, the Roman Empire guy. George III, who was king when Britain conquered some of Asia and Africa. All the first white pilgrims who invaded America on the Mayflower. Why did they do that? The world’s big enough for everyone."

Chisora is one of Britain's most charismatic boxers in recent years and is known for his unpredictable temperament. The press conferences for his fights often end up on highlight reels, such as when he threw a table at domestic rival Dillian Whyte and slapped Vitali Klitschko before their world title fight.
His win over Pulev ended almost a three-year losing streak but Chisora has admitted he doesn't have much left to give in boxing. "I last won a fight three years ago," he said after beating Pulev. "I'm happy today but at the same time I'm sad. I don't have many left in me but what I do have I will give my all to you guys.
"I don't have many left, so my next couple of fights - I'm on my way out. I don't want no easy fights, I want the hard fights. I told Eddie Hearn the other day, if he can get me The Bronze Bomber [ Deontay Wilder ] I'll be happy. I want to fight everybody in my era. Win or lose, I just want to fight."
Despite Chisora's wishes to fight Wilder, his good friend and former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew has advised him against it, telling DAZN after Chisora's win: "It's tough to see where he goes and which fights he wants. I'd rather see him just fight Pulev again [than Wilder.]. Who wouldn't want to see that again? It's 1-1, I would pay to see that again - I'm not paying for [Chisora vs Wilder], I don't want to see that."
