I do feel a tad for Chisora as over the years he has probably deserved a second shot at the big belt, but giving him one now does feel a bit like when Terry Venabbles offered Steve Bruce an England call up in 1995 when he was clearly past his prime. Chisora looked like he slowed up alot in the Parker rematch.

Personally I think since all of this is coming out of Chisora's team, allegedly, that it's nothing more than a poke or a prod at Tyson saying that he owes him the title shot.

From my perspective this is the kind of match that should be made for exhibitions or non title matches, since there is virtually nobody who believes that Chisora could remotely win.

It must be true, he said so .......

I still can't believe no-one has pulled him up about his promised charity donations

Yeh he said that. Apparently, the reason now is because Chisora said he'd bet his house on Whyte beating Fury.

Yeah, pretty cynical stuff, I'll fight someone I beat easily last time.

His record of defences as champ is pretty terrible.

Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte?

Fury can fight, he's an excellent fighter on his best night, but you can't say his legacy as champ will be impressive without some other substantial wins.

It's a shame the Joshua fight didn't happen earlier, because Joshua is likely to be a busted flush soon.

If he beats Usyk, then that will definitely help, as Usyk is a top drawer quality fighter.

Everyone had him down as a non puncher, glass jaw, fat waste of space.... I wish he'd have got AJ. I would have made a fortune. Such an easy fight for him. People actually thought AJ could beat him!
