As Chisora awaits the fait of his pay-per-view clash, he is attempting to keep fans safe from the deadly bug by selling protective masks.
The Londoner regularly walks to the ring with a British bandana covering his face, and has recently taken inspiration from middleweight legend Marvin Hagler, who famously wore a hat with War written on it.
British boxing was given a boost after the Board of Control released a statement insisting they can return in July with events to be staged without supporters in attendance.
Chisora – who was snapped enjoying a cigar on a tiny Smart car – is prepared to fight ex-undisputed cruiserweight king Usyk behind closed doors – as long as the sound of his fans is piped in.
He said: “I can still deliver behind closed doors, we just need to get a recording of the fans singing and shouting in the arena so I can hear them chanting.
“I think we can get that working but I don’t really care, if I am honest. I just like to fight.
“I am not getting any younger so if I can squeeze in two fights this year, I will be up for that, I just love fighting.”
Chisora, who weights 18st 8lbs, has continued to training during the coronavirus outbreak but lockdown rules have had an impact on his regime.
He added: “I am still training but I have tapered it down and am doing what I do best and that is chilling out and cooking.
“I am just doing what.”
