Showing love for the British comedy classic that gave him his nickname, Dereck "Del Boy" Chisora showed up to his London press conference with Vitali Klitschko in a Trotters Independent Traders van and talked shop on the ride with his February 18 opponent:
Given Chisora's past reputation for being incredibly abrasive and trying to get into the heads of his opponents, he's showing a pretty easygoing side of himself here, and Vitali engages that pretty well. Maybe Chisora just figures there's no point trying to get Klitschko all riled up. Perhaps he fears he wouldn't like him when he's angry.

The show, for the record, is called "Only Fools and Horses," and was named the all-time Best Sitcom in British TV history by BBC voters back in 2004. The BBC still has a page for the show for anyone interested. Sadly, it is not currently streaming on Netflix, but I've included a clip after the jump.

Klitschko V Chisora - The fight no one cares about

There are a lot of fights way more people care about even less on the current schedule.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but...
the fight has some potential.

“20 years. That’s a long time, Dave.”
“That’s two decades.”
“Well I wouldn’t go that far.”

British comedy is not funny
I hate it when people talk about how much more “enlightened” british humor is.
cyke - January 12, 2012
Well...
… that wasn’t the best clip, but I know what you mean. Fawlty Towers, the Office, Monty Python all seem a vastly overrated to me. But there is great comedy out there… homeopathic ER anyone ?

All funny.

Loved them as a kid. Now I’m searching the web for new episodes of “Little Britain” every now and then. Just great.
DrHenrik - January 13, 2012
Well,
How many series of the American version of “The Office” have there been?
Phill - January 12, 2012
That was to Cyke.
Phill - January 12, 2012
Do you mean seasons? I think 7 or 8.
I’m not defending the US office. In fact I think the British one stacks up much better.

British comedy IS funny. I hate it when people talk about how it’s “not that they don’t get it, they do, but it’s not funny, it’s just not funny”

Ok lets all go praise how great the dead parrot sketch was and derive lessons on humanity for it.
I don’t know, it’s never gripped me.
cyke - January 13, 2012
Fawlty towers is obviously the best britcom ever, c’mon.
