Which sucker of an undertaker has exhumed both of these bodies and lined them up for some 'IBF golden cemetery belt'
Its a shit match up. Id rather watch Chisora v Babic or Browne v Babic or Babic v Fisher or Allen v Babic or Allen v Fisher or Kash Ali v Babic or Kash Ali v Fisher or Fabio Wardley v any of them. But no, we get the same fornicating heated up big soup that has been in a bowl in the fridge for 10 days and we are supposed to think its a nutricious meal.

About time Shannon Courteney made a comeback, that would make a great chief support plus another 10 women's fights would make a great show
Think she is due any time. By the sound of it she’s gonna have some warm ups as she’s been out so long. On top of that her rematch clause with the American lady runs forever so she can activate it whenever. Absurd.

Eff off Eddie....
All of the above
Maybe that Game Of Thrones strongman should contrive an online beef with Del Boy to guarantee him a fight after this one as well.
Go on Chis, kick that advertising Toblerone in his direction post fight.

I'd love to see Courtney rematch with Ebanie Bridges, hell I'd even pay 8 quid for it

I got an email about VIP tickets for this. Reading the copy, they're really going in for the hard sell.
"VIP BLOCK SEATS AVAILABLE FOR CHISORA VS PULEV II : TOTAL CARNAGE ON SATURDAY 9TH JULY 2022 - BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW TO GURANTEE YOURSELF A PLACE!!
Derek Chisora will face Kubrat Pulev in an unexpected heavyweight rematch on July 9. The Brit had been lined up for a bout with Adam Kownacki or Chris Arreola, however these contests did not get over the line and so the surprise second fight with Pulev has been made, which will take place at the O2 Arena in London. The clash with the Bulgarian will come as a shock to many not just because it had not been publicly discussed. It is also a surprise to see this fight again as the pair’s first meeting six years ago was rather underwhelming. On that occasion in May 2016, Chisora travelled to Hamburg, Germany to face Pulev for the vacant European title. In one of his most lacklustre performances, the Brit was well beaten and it was bizarre that one judge scored the fight in his favour.
Now, he will be looking to put this right six years on. When he first fought Chisora, Pulev was on the road back from a defeat to Wladimir Klitschko. He eventually earned a second title shot, but was knocked out again – this time by Anthony Joshua. Chisora now has 12 defeats on his record in total. Since his defeat to Pulev, he has also been beaten by Dillian Whyte (twice), Agit Kabayel, Oleksandr Usyk and Joseph Parker (twice). However, at 38 he insists he has no plans to retire and still often brings entertainment, even in defeat."
Seems whoever wrote that knows they got a turd and isn't even really trying to polish it. That reads to me like, hey we know it's a turd who wants to come and watch the turd? VIP tickets to look at the turd!
I'm alright thanks.
Wtf? Surely that’s not legit? Who would ever try to sell tickets like that?
From what Eddie says, the card sounds like Chisora/Madrimov-Soro/Cash/Wardley/Agyarko or Jordan Thompson
(one of the two will be Sheffield card).
It's not terrible, but unless the latter three are all in 50-50s, it's not exactly a huge card.
Dalton Smith headlining (?) in Sheffield early August against someone without a decent win in over four years doesn't look promising either. I'm still expecting Galahad-Hughes at 135 (think I saw that rumoured?) to be the true headliner but I have no idea.

Either way, I'm not paying for this.
It's a local derby. The only reason o'maison gets the fight. Should be at Hillsborough or Ponds Forge.

Derek Chisora: “I don’t have to be liked by everyone. I know what I’ve got, and I sell a product to people who want to have that product. And that product is WAR.”
Kubrat Pulev: “Derek is a difficult opponent and we have a little bit of history. And now a couple of years on from my first win over Derek I feel good and I feel better because I teach and I learn a lot of things from my fights. I have more experience.”
DEREK CHISORA
“What is the plan? I don’t know. Where is the road leading to? I don’t know. War. What’s the agenda? Where are we going? This guy had a strategy against ‘AJ’ and it didn’t really turn out well did it. For me, my plan is my fans – that is it. Entertainment. Do you understand? That’s what I like. I’ve lost so many fights, I’ve won a couple of fights. I’ve won things that I wanted to win. I prefer fighting. I wake up every morning and I go training. I’ve still got the hunger for it. I get these younger guys into the gym to spar me. I see in their eyes the fear they have by the time they get to rounds three or four. I’m still hungry and I still want to fight. I still want to cause damage to people and I still want to entertain. No disrespect to the big man (Pulev), he waited a couple of years before fighting for the world title and when he fought for the world title he was coming out with excuses – ‘I had COVID and I didn’t spar well’. That’s a load of bullshit to be honest with you. I want it more. I don’t have to be liked by everyone. I know what I’ve got, and I sell a product to people who want to have that product. And that product is war. I train hard. I’ve got passion for the game. Come July 9th it’s going to be round 13 basically where we left off. Yes he had a fight a couple of weeks ago, but he boxed a nobody who hasn’t got any of my skills. I’m going to eat his leather and I’m going to deliver my leather.”
KUBRAT PULEV
“First of all, I want to say to Derek, I have respect for him because he always takes fights against difficult opponents like me and his last three fights. He always takes tough fights and he’s never scared. That’s why I have respect for him. What can I say? I’m ready, I took this fight because I’m ready. My last fight against Jerry Forest was a similar style to Derek Chisora. It was like one big sparring session. He didn’t hurt me. He can’t make a lot of things against me. I just win easy. Derek is a difficult opponent and we have a little bit of history. And now a couple of years on from my first win over Derek I feel good and I feel better because I teach and I learn a lot of things from my fights. I have more experience. My fight against Joshua here in London – I was not well prepared before the fight. Before that fight I had COVID and I didn’t say anything about it. I was not prepared, no sparring and no nothing. I know I’m a very good boxer, technically I’m amazing. Everything, I have everything. That fight with Joshua I was just not well prepared. It was only my mistake. Now, I’m healthy and I’m good and I’m here to fight against my friend. It’s going to be an interesting fight for sure because he’s a dangerous opponent. I’m concentrating on this fight and then after that a world title.”
PROMOTER EDDIE HEARN
“Welcome to London and thank you for attending a very quick press conference that was called just a couple of days ago, yesterday I believe. Kubrat Pulev, thank you for travelling over from Bulgaria and Ivaylo thank you for travelling over from America. Derek Chisora late, nearly an hour late. He’s slightly late, not mind games, but he had to take care of some responsibilities ahead of a big fight. July 9th at the O2 Arena live on DAZN all around the world. This fight labelled as ‘Total Carnage’. It wasn’t my idea of a strapline, I just said ‘something like Total Carnage’, because that’s what we’re going to get – whether that’s today or whether that’s fight week. What we will get is a great Heavyweight fight at The O2 Arena. Derek Chisora is back to his stomping ground after some great fights over the years. Of course, Dillian Whyte, Joseph Parker, Oleksandr Usyk and a fight with this gentleman to my left a few years ago in Bulgaria which we’ll talk about. We’ve already been debating that fight as well. We want to thank Kubrat for jumping in. We agreed terms with Adam Kownacki but he decided not to take the fight. I wanted the biggest fight for Derek Chisora. He is enigma. After his fight with Joseph Parker I thought it would be an idea to have a nice win, or an easy win. Not on the agenda for Derek Chisora – ‘give me the biggest fight you can find’. Now we have two great well known Heavyweights, Derek Chisor and Kubrat Pulev ready to do battle at The O2 Arena on July 9th.”
