Boxer Derek Chisora experienced an awkward moment when a woman turned down his invitation for dinner while on camera.
The boxing star, fresh off his 36th career win against Otto Wallin in February, was publicly rejected after posing for photos with the woman at a recent event.
Chisora, aged 41, was wearing a cowboy hat as he posed for several photos with the fan in front of onlookers.
However, the situation quickly became uncomfortable when Chisora, who plans to retire after his next fight, extended a dinner invitation.
He first asked, “How are you?”, to which the woman replied, “Good, thanks.”
Chisora then shifted the conversation, asking, “When are we going to grab dinner?”
The woman responded, “Woah. Don’t be coming at me like that.”
Not visibly fazed, Chisora quipped, “Don’t you like dinner?”
The woman`s reply was blunt: “I like dinner… on my own.”
The awkward clip soon circulated online, drawing reactions from fans on social media.
Commenters shared their thoughts on the exchange.
One user questioned, “He just asked her out basically and she thought that was somehow crossing the line?”
Another asked, “How should a man ask a woman if they’re going to grab dinner or not?”
A third observed, “She grabbed him like he was her boyfriend and got upset about grabbing dinner with him.”
Adding to the comments, one fan wrote, “Derek shooting his shot, can’t blame the lad.”
