Do you approve of Tyson Fury fighting Chisora in December? (poll)

[Perkin Warbeck]

What do you think - is this a good fight for the WBC heavyweight titleholder, or should he fight someone he hasn't already beaten twice?

[KiwiRider]

Is this the most pointless poll of the year?

1, well duh.
2, there is no second option.

[HomicideHenry]

If it was strictly a non-title match I would have no problem. If it was strictly an exhibition I would have no problem. But if this is to go down as a title defense I think historically speaking it will go down as one of the more weakest title defenses in heavyweight history.

Mind you Muhammad Ali fought a lot of no hopers while as the champion like Richard Dunne, Jean Pierre Coopman, Alfredo Evangelista, etc--- but the difference between the bum of the month roadshow that Muhammad Ali did and what's transpiring now is that at least Muhammad Ali was active fighting basically every three or four months.

It's a bit forgivable to fight a couple of bums in between really big fights especially if you are constantly on television being in fights. It's really not that forgivable to basically fight once or twice a year and one of the fights is against a no-hoper who you already defeated twice before.

Chisora still around???

[gregregegg]

Its not that chisora is such a bad opponent its not a worthy fight. Its that its already happened twice. add in the fact that furys resume is famously thin and its just dumb. needs a fresh face.

[Enlightened-One]

Tyson Fury tried to get Usyk, but he didn’t want to fight until the new year. ‘The Gypsy King’ also tried to face Anthony Joshua, but AJ wouldn’t agree terms. So the man from Morcambe needs to remain active.

So it was inevitable that Tyson Fury was going to engage in a low-risk stay busy bout, whilst patiently waiting for Usyk and Joshua to finally sign their mega payday contracts. And ‘Del Boy’ is an ideal opponent for him to engage in an interim fight.

Dereck Chisora always seems to give it his all during his bouts and his fights are phenomenally entertaining to watch!

‘Del Boy’ beat Takam and Pulev. He was also far more competitive against Oleksandr Usyk than Anthony Joshua was.

One could easily argue that Chisora boasts unofficial victories over the likes of Whyte, Parker and Helenius.

Dereck has also filled many stadiums and headlined lots of PPV’s and Sky Sports main events, which means he’s a commercially big name.

And he is also phenomenal at selling fights. His antics always seem to grab the media headlines.

When Chisora eventually faces Tyson Fury in December, more than eight years would have passed since they last fought. He’s earned the right to compete in another marquee bout.

The BoxRec forum also considers Dereck Chisora to be amongst the top-eight world-rated heavyweights competing today, above the likes of Bakole, Ortiz, Wallin, Helenius, Sanchez, Pulev and Hrgovic.

And finally, Tyson Fury has always doggedly maintained for several years that he planned to fight Wilder, Joshua and Chisora before retiring:

“I’m going to knock Wilder out, and he’s not going to want a rematch, I’m going to fight Joshua, I’m going to beat him too, and then I’ve always said to my old pal Derek Chisora I’d have a farewell fight with him.

“Maybe we can get the Old Trafford fight with old Del Boy.

“And then it’s curtains on a fantastic career.”

Therefore, Tyson Fury’s intention to have one final outing against Dereck Chisora was always one of his goals that no one previously complained about, so why are people moaning now?

[Thomastearns]

Nice no risk money in the bank fight for Fury against a very familiar opponent.

It's also a nice money earner for the always ready Chisora.

Absolute stinker of a fight for any fans who expected a competitive title defence.

Fury's resume is already suspiciously thin, and this will do nothing to change any of that.

Fury's once again done the sport no good at all with his shenanigans.

Crawford and Spence have literally spent years trying to get their fight on, so why couldn't Fury agree to a globally awaited December 18th showdown with Anthony Joshua?

To mess around with Joshua and Charr in this manner when he probably intended to fight Chisora all along is duplicitous behaviour to say the least.

Nothing new there from a man who's entire career seems to be shrouded in deception. A man who seems to have been retiring and returning with such suspicious regularity that some have accused him of cycling more than Chris Boardman and Lance Armstrong put together.

[gilgamesh]

No. He should fight literally anyone else.

[Monzon83]

They're going to put this exhibition on PPV which somehow makes it even worse.

[Bandog]

Fury's promoter claims Chisora is just as dangerous as Usyk.

Hopefully Chisora catches Fury somehow. Rematch clause I wonder?

probably because Fury has done a miserable job of cleaning out his era and given how rarely he fights can ill afford pointless mismatches. How is he going to find time to fight Joyce, Joshua, Usyk, Sanchez etc when he fight basically once a year? If he was fighting better opponents more regularly it would be less of an issue.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Because Chisora gave Usyk a closer fight than AJ.

Your justification comes at no surprise, but is a joke. Hell, people would be much more excited about a Wallin rematch, which his old man said Tyson deserved to lose.

[Bandog]

Fury is erratic, a known drug user, arrogant, and obviously narcissistic. Can't stand his name not on front page news. There are at LEAST a dozen more deserving more talented fights for a "tune up" or "stay busy" fight.

He is the biggest, but arguablly the most over-rated heavy in recent years. Currently the best? Costs half a billion $ to find out.

i would be fine seeing Chisora vs Fury and your post makes great points

[Perkin Warbeck]

i would be fine seeing Chisora vs Fury

Judging from the poll result as well as comments on twitter and other social media, most fans, writers and other boxers do not agree.

We think Fury should have chosen another opponent, someone he hasn't already beaten twice.

[KiwiRider]

If it was strictly a non-title match I would have no problem. If it was strictly an exhibition I would have no problem. But if this is to go down as a title defense I think historically speaking it will go down as one of the more weakest title defenses in heavyweight history.

Mind you Muhammad Ali fought a lot of no hopers while as the champion like Richard Dunne, Jean Pierre Coopman, Alfredo Evangelista, etc--- but the difference between the bum of the month roadshow that Muhammad Ali did and what's transpiring now is that at least Muhammad Ali was active fighting basically every three or four months.

It's a bit forgivable to fight a couple of bums in between really big fights especially if you are constantly on television being in fights. It's really not that forgivable to basically fight once or twice a year and one of the fights is against a no-hoper who you already defeated twice before.

Is it PPV worthy too Henry?
Because, as well as a weak arse defence from a guy who claims to be the best on the planet, they are going to make you pay to watch it, and you can also guarantee the undercard will suck so badly you will be fast forwarding as quickly as you can.

To be honest with you I think the vast majority of pay-per-views these days are not pay-per-view-worthy. Wilder-Helenius, for example, or even Ruiz-Ortiz, to my mind was not pay-per-view worthy. This match here, if it indeed goes ahead between Fury-Chisora, should not be a pay-per-view but rather free television.

I think everyone can agree with you on most fights not being ppv worthy.
I didn't think that Canelo vs ggg 3vwas ppv worthy either.
I'm trying to remember the last fight that was truly ppv worthy

[squiggy]

i would be fine seeing Chisora vs Fury

Here it is

[Syntax Error]

The most pointless trilogy fight in modern boxing history.

How will Fury get motivated to beat a guy he's comfortably beaten twice already?

Will anybody even pay for this shyte?

PS: Who voted yes?
