Dereck Chisora claims he is a changed man since finding God and credits his new found religion for victory
The 34-year-old Brit has overhauled his life and has swapped boozy sessions for church and religion
DERECK CHISORA put his Carlos Takam knockout down to a sober chat with God.
The North London brawler was notorious for his outrageous antics in the build-up to fights with Vitali Klitschko, David Haye and Dillian Whyte.
But he looked a shadow of his mischievous self before his war with Takam, until a thrilling shot flattened the Frenchman in round eight at the O2.
And Del Boy revealed he is a reformed bad boy after finding religion and giving up the booze.
Chisora, 34, said: “I am born again. I spent my whole time in the build-up to this fight going to church and I have done a complete 360-degree turn on my life. The things I used to do before, I don’t do any more.
“I don’t drink and I stopped doing a lot of the things I used to do. I think, when you find God, you can change a lot of things in your life.”
Whyte’s win over Joseph Parker catapulted the Londoner into world-title contention.
But Chisora has unfinished business with Whyte after their 2016 clash went against him.
Promoter Eddie Hearn said: “I’d love to do the Chisora v Whyte rematch, it would be an absolute war.”
