Del has the ears of the Saudi cash cows and it gives Ngannou a gatekeepers name on his record ready for a June 2024 showdown with one of the biggies.

I've never got why top champion boxers can only manage to fight twice a year max. What's changed in them that they cannot fight 3 or 4 times in a year?

$$$$£££££

if you have sponsorship and advertising etc bringing in millions then there is probably no real sense of urgency to do the " day job "

I’d imagine very very few boxers make millions from sponsorship. AJ will but how many others? I’d be surprised if many are making £100k let alone £1m+.

If I was nganu I would try skip this step and go strait to biggg AJ or wilder money though… because if del beats him then what….

If Chisora takes it serious, I'd favour him to beat Ngannou over 10rnds. Ngannou didn't do anything except make Fury look bad by doing the basics.

Chisora should still have enough left to out smart and out box him.

If I were managing Ngannou I'd either wait for the Fury rematch or take a big money fight against AJ if it's on offer.

Can they really pull this off?

maverick23 wrote: ↑11 Nov 2023, 06:33 Apparently they’re looking at Wallin for AJ and Bakole for Wilder.

I’d be surprised if we see either.

Wilder vs Bakole would be worth the entrance fee/pay per view cost alone.

Agreed. I just can’t see Wilder taking it.

Could be as a cross seller to the MMA audience.
Who?
Depends who’s fit or perhaps who’s not fit?
I’d say Derek is he’s up for it. If Derek is fit then a dodgy one for Francis.

If they want a Francis win. Then give it to Dave Allen, Franklin, Pukev or Povetkin (if he isn’t binging on sturgeon)

Any of those would have given Fury a worse problem last month. And I’m being serious

Cyclops wrote: ↑15 Nov 2023, 22:35 Chisora had posters for a match up between him and Ngannou in his feed weeks ago. I took the bait and assumed it was real, but clearly nothing agreed yet.

I actually think Ngannou is a beast and a problem for everybody.

agreed, I think it will be Dereck. Hope it's Allen though.

Povetkin is utterly shot and also the Russian issue. Pulev is a good shout - lively big lad getting on a bit and has done some kind of cross-over already, absolutely hammering some ruined old MMA guy a while back
