Cant help but nod your head to the gameness of Chisora but agree it dont look good for the heavies if he's still being put about in big fights
You can say the same for lots of boxing now though,the good stuff still comes up,and its there if you look, but lots of it is rubbish and embarrassing

Re: Who will be the Last opponent for Derek Chisora? presumed Tottenham's Stadium
Jai doesn’t want it
“Man, I’m chasing undisputed. I’ve got time under my belt. I’m only 30 years old. I want to become undisputed cruiserweight champion, and once that’s done I want to move up to heavy, or – whoever’s next, that’s who’s next. But, at the moment, undisputed is what I’m aiming for.
“I’ve been told that I’ve got the mandatory first, and we’re aiming for around November, but until I see signed papers in front of me it’s all talk. But we’re aiming for that, and then we’re gonna get Ramirez early next year. I just don’t understand how we have not got a unification fight next, or even yet. The WBC – Badou Jack – I do not understand why we are not fighting. It makes no sense to me. We want to see champions against champions – any unification fight overtakes a mandatory, you know what I mean? Let’s make it happen. I don’t know what’s going on.
“We’ve got the Cinkara fight, which is a serious fight. This guy’s dangerous. He’s a slick little boxer; we’ll prepare for war like we always do. Twelve hard rounds. And then once the job’s done, we just want unification fights. We’ve been chasing these unification fights for years now. I don’t understand why they’re not getting over the line.
“Whether [Cinkara’s team] want to go to purse bids or do this or do that, it does not bother me. I’m ready to fight. Let’s get it done, move forward, and get unifications. I want to become undisputed.
“I was meant to fight Cinkara [in January], and then he pulled out with an injury, and then I fought my mandatory against David Nyika. Now it’s back to the mandatory again.
“[It’s] very frustrating. But it is what it is. My whole career’s been frustrating. But we just got to keep pushing forward; keep training hard. I just believe that I’ll be undisputed one day, so I’ve gotta stay focused.”

He could always go up and then back down
Re: Who will be the Last opponent for Derek Chisora? presumed Tottenham's Stadium
Pulev 3 for the WBA trinket is still my thought.
You would think Chisora has waited quite a bit of time since the Walin fight - its either got to be some kind of title fight or a big big fight. I'd imagine in terms of financial gain - most of the "mid tier" heavyweights (outside of Usyk, Joshua, Fury and bizzarely still Wilder and probably Itauma) are worth about the same financially.
He'd probably get similar attention fighting Dave Allen as he would a Miller, Hunter or Zhang.
So for me Pulev for the WBA trinket would be my call, but other than that - I think some kind of interim / vacant title shot or a big one against Joshua it will be. I wouldn't want that though for Chisora's health.
If he wants some kind of title fight - for his health I want it to be Pulev, if he wants a decent pay day that will gather some attention - wait a bit and fight Dave Allen (again for his health).

Re: Who will be the Last opponent for Derek Chisora? presumed Tottenham's Stadium
that would take a while unless he's juicing to the gills. can't imagine him coming back down once he's at heavyweight
Re: Who will be the Last opponent for Derek Chisora? presumed Tottenham's Stadium
Yeah, it's like talking about a "former murderer". It's one of those thgins that you only have to do once to earn the lablel.rhino222 wrote: ↑27 Mar 2025, 15:49im not sure you can be a former wife beater, as a bloke, if you have that in your arsenal then it could always reappear. its a pretty low thing to do in my opinion, he deserves to get laid out by DDD
Re: Who will be the Last opponent for Derek Chisora? presumed Tottenham's Stadium
Chisora loves the lime light and is more closer to having 10 more fights then one more. He will be the next danny Williams
