Derek Chisora has told Deontay Wilder to knock out "that little f***ing weasel" Jai Opetaia when the two meet on the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua card in Cardiff.

Asked by DAZN how he thought the fight would go, Chisora said: "Listen, the fight with Jai Opetaia, Deontay knock that little f***ing weasel out, man." Asked if that was what would happen, he added: "Yeah, Deontay's gonna knock him out."

Chisora gave the same pick in a separate interview with talkSPORT Boxing at Media Fight Night, saying the fight "will not go past 5 rounds". In that interview he also told Oleksandr Usyk to "shut the f*** up and go stand on the front line at the war".

Wilder beat Chisora by split decision in April. He fights Opetaia at heavyweight at the Principality Stadium on 11 December, live on Netflix. Wilder, 41, is 45-4-1 with 43 knockouts. Opetaia, 31, is 31-0 with 24 knockouts and gives up 5 inches in height and 7 inches in reach.

Fury, who headlines the card, has taken the opposite view of Wilder. He has said his old rival "shouldn't be in a ring" and is "shot to bits", and that Wilder and Chisora "looked shockingly terrible when they fought".
