DEREK CHISORA strangely called his friend Tony Bellew.
Chisora surprised Joe Joyce in his 48th fight and promised to get to 50 fights before hanging them.

Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang and Dillian Whyte are among the names the British veteran wants to face.
But retired former world cruiserweight champion Bellew is the shocking last name Chisora mentioned.
He shared a mock fight poster of the pair teasing a December fight in Manchester.
What’s even more bizarre is that Bellew, 41, and Chisora, 40, are close friends.
Bellew has even admitted in the past that he faced the wrath of TV bosses for rooting too much for Chisora while on air.
He said MHM Social: “When it comes to Derek, we’re close friends.
“I don’t have a lot of close friends in the boxing world anymore and there aren’t a lot of guys out there who openly supported me when I was fighting.
“Derek has always been there in my biggest fights, right by my side, yelling and screaming for me. And I’m a loyal person – what you do for me, I’ll do for you.

“So it was just one of those nights. I got scolded and scolded by Sky for my yelling and stuff, but don’t hire me for the fights where my friends are fighting if that’s not what you want.”
Bellew retired in 2018 after a crushing knockout loss to now heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk.
He opened the door for a return over the years, but has since retired as an analyst and commentator.
Meanwhile, Chisora is convinced he will reach 50 fights after defeating Joyce, 38, in a ten-round thriller.
He said: “It’s not my last fight. I have two more.”
