Derek Chisora keeps up ritual by gifting Kubrat Pulev Five Guys burger despite bad blood as rival signs glove for Brit

DEREK CHISORA kept up his post-fight Five Guys ritual despite his bad blood with Kubrat Pulev.

Chisora usually gifts his opponent a burger after fighting them.

But his animosity with Pulev threatened to see the tradition broken after the pair almost came to blows at their pre-fight press conference.

They went on to put on a thriller over 12 rounds at the O2 Arena, six years after Pulev initially won in Germany.

But this time, it was the Bulgarian on the end of a split-decision loss in the away corner.

After Chisora’s hand was raised, he wasted no time in visiting Pulev’s dressing room with a burger in hand.

It did seem though that his offer of a quarter pounder was turned down.

Chisora asked: “You don’t want a burger?” To which Pulev replied: “No, no. Thank you.”

Maybe it was more for the Londoner, who happily tucked into his post-fight meal, although Pulev’s brother Tervel looked to have instead eaten it.

And Pulev all-but confirmed that their feud had been settled as he signed his match gloves for Chisora.

Having boxed in Germany and now England, a trilogy decider in Bulgaria could be next on the cards.

Pulev, 41, said: “Are you ready for rematch? Third match. Third fight.”

Chisora, 38, responded: “Where do you want to do it? In Bulgaria.”
