David Price claims he has hypnotised rival Derek Chisora ahead of heavyweight war

DAVID PRICE claims he has hypnotised Derek Chisora ahead of their heavyweight war on Saturday night.

The old sparring buddies go way back and Del Boys efforts to rustle up some aggro at Thursdays press conference fell flat.

David Price claims he has hypnotised Dereck Chisora ahead of their fight

But 6ft 8in Liverpool giant Price, 36, claims he now has the psychological upper hand after gazing deep into Chisoras soul.

Price said: Ive looked into his eyes, I can hypnotise him. Ive taken lessons on how to hypnotise.

I told him hes going to be as weak as a kitten. He said, Its the only chance youll have, but Im looking forward to it.

This is what its all about, testing myself against top, top heavyweights and this is going to be a great fight.

Chisoras manager David Haye helped find a late replacement opponent after Joseph Parker pulled out with a spider bite.

Retired heavyweight champ Haye said: David Price is positive he can win.

He is not the sort of guy who can be out of shape and trust himself to get by on his talent. He knows he needs to be in shape, he is fully loaded.

The fact he was quick to take the fight, without any coaxing, proves he is up for it.

He is at a time in his career when he knows he cannot be out on the p*** for six weeks between fights because he wont know if or when this call will ever come.
