Tony Bellew visibly worried about Derek Chrisora fighting Deontay Wilder

Derek Chisora's long-time pal Tony Bellew is one of the few that have no interest in watching him fight Deontay Wilder in his next outing.

The hard-hitting heavyweight returned to winning ways after three years last night when he took a split decision win over Pulev at The O2 arena in London. After a gruelling 12 rounds with the Bulgarian, whose only previous losses were in world title fights with Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko, Chisora expressed interest in facing Wilder, who confirmed this year he is returning.

Wilder is one of the most feared punchers in combat sports history, and viciously knocked out every single one of his opponents before being stopped by Tyson Fury. The pair fought to a draw at first, in which he did brutally knock down the Brit, before Fury won the two rematches in their trilogy.
