Derek Chisora HEADBUTTS Deliveroo rider over refusal to dismount bike

Footage has captured British boxer Derek Chisora appearing to headbutt a Deliveroo rider outside a restaurant.

Chisora, 40, had reportedly been having a meal with his two daughters on a street in Hampstead when the incident occurred.

Mail Sport understands Chisora asked the rider to dismount after they entered the narrow street, suggesting children and dogs could be hit.

An argument ensued after the cyclist refused, with Chisora reportedly being attacked first before retaliating.

Police were reportedly called to the scene, but no arrests were reportedly made following the incident.

Footage was taken during the incident, amid claims Chisora had been provoked leading to the confrontation.

Chisora appeared to be seen holding the driver, who was heard shouting  ‘get the f*** off me, bro’ and ‘I swear, get off me now’.

The Deliveroo driver was then seen throwing his hands in the direction of Chisora, who responded with a headbutt.

Shocked diners were seen watching on amid the confrontation. 

The incident comes just over a week before Chisora returns to the ring.

Chisora is set to face Joe Joyce in an all-British heavyweight contest at the O2 Arena in London.

The fight will be ‘Del Boy’s’ 48th of his professional career, which spans 17-years in the heavyweight division.

Chisora last fought in the ring last August when he overcame Gerald Washington.

The victory saw Chisora bounce back from his defeat to Tyson Fury in December 2022, the second time the boxer had beaten when challenging for a world title.
