He'd be good if they can't get someone more along the lines of the other 2. They are both with MR so one can hope at least

Stylistically, Povetkin vs Chisora should be a better fight than Parker vs Chisora.

Not sure he will take in on short notice though.

Bakole could be interesting, not sure how well it would sell though.

Price or Hunter would be OK.

I would love Usyk to step in, but can't see it, unfortunately.

Usyk would absolutely marmalize Chisora.

Marmelize is the exact word for it!!

Bakole would be good. Any chance of Kownacki?

Kownacki will be fighting Wilder soon enough. No way he comes in at short notice to fight in the UK.

Had no interest in the fight anyway

These are the fighters that Hearn will be choosing from to fight Dereck:

Alexander Povetkin
Michael Hunter
Oscar Rivas
Otto Wallin
Martin Bakole
Manuel Charr

Will Parker’s new nickname be ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’? They’re missing a trick if not.

Charr sucks, but the others on that list are all decent enough names.

Rivas would be interesting but doubt he will want to come back to the UK any time soon.

Realistically, as this fight was being used to propel PPV/ticket sales, it has to be a bit of a "name" (and ideally, for Matchroom, to be promoted/connected to them).

I don't think Bakole has the profile yet, although it's a fight I'd like to see.

I think (based on an interview I saw the other day) that Price and team want to continue down the rebuilding path, so not sure they'd take this.

Hughie Fury has the surname, but was last seen on a PPV losing in uninspired fashion.

That leaves Hunter and Povetkin - again, I'd like to see Hunter vs Chisora (although could see Dereck lose interest after being outboxed for a few rounds) but profile-wise, he falls a bit short.

I think that leaves Povetkin - he's got the name with the casual audience post-Joshua and Price fights and I think that the fight itself could be fun. Get your cheque book out Eddie.

Should never have been a PPV anyway, even less so now. Forget Chisora's fight and bung it on normal SKY for a change

LOL! I can't watch Stallone anymore.

Johann Duhaupus has been known to fill in on short notice.

True. But I hope not.

Too much of a drop off. I'm hoping Hunter.

Chris Arreola would be a fun fight against Chisora

Bakole, Hunter or Hrgovic would do me just fine

I'd like to see Chisora wipe out Charr for the WBA reg personally..

Chisora walks through him inside 3 - shot to pieces.

Surely not.

Think Eddie's taking the piss just to get a bite, well I hope so anyhow but you never know
