Fury vs Chisora rematch - Nov 22nd at Excel, London

[SamWise72]

Sure, but he really didn't lose to Helenius, did he? And he beat Kingpin, Tyson's nearest thing to an opponent of note? And Malik Scott? And Pala? I know this is hardly the cream of the 70's heavyweight crop, but who do you want to hold up from Fury's opponents to compare? Del has proven himself at a higher level to Fury, both through defeats and victories.

This is getting a bit silly now with the "i don't care" brigade.

OK, perhaps they tried to hype Fury vs Chisora into something it wasn't, tried to sell it as a rematch that had to happen and made a bit of an embarrassing sideshow of the build up.

But make no mistake, this is a big fight. We have the 2 best active British heavyweights, both likely to appear in far better shape than they did first time round, both more experienced than the relative novices that faced each other first time round.

Tyson is ranked WBC-10, WBA-12, WBO-4 & IBF-5
Chisora is ranked WBC-7, WBA-8, WBO-1 & IBF-3

They are both potentially a couple fights from world title shots and the fight is for the European and British titles
Both men have provided entertaining fights over the years and both are on good winning runs.

Don't lets the fact that this got a bit of silly hype distract from the fact that this is a fight worth watching
Genuine boxing fans saying they won't watch it is silly, are we going to boycott or something?

This is a good post

Thing is BN can't build a big domestic fight like Sky can, yes Haye Chisora was big but that brawl was everywhere due to Hayes name made of the back of Fraudley and Wlad fights hence big interest in the fight. Sky had premier league adverts sky sports new and sky news too. If this fight was on Sky I think it would be bigger.

I still think this is a decent fight though and was such a shame the first one was called off I think it's close to call. But I just want to see Fury v Wlad for my own self amusement DD

The build up again I can't be arsed with even Tyson Furys normally amusing rants have started to bore me.

To be honest I think at this point I would be more interested in Saunders v Eubank despite it being a bit of a mismatch

Fury/Chisora was mediocre back when it was originally scheduled, 3000 years ago. It hasn't become any more interesting since.

It was the first fight that Channel 5 showed. If I remember, more people on the forums were interested in what the Channel 5 coverage would be like than anything else.
