for the WBC Silver HW Title from Helsinki, Finland...

I think I'm going with Chisora.

He looked decent against Whyte & I think he might have edged that fight.

Also, his original fight with Helenius was also close & many thought he edged that too.

Fantastic chance for Del to right a wrong. Will look forward to this.

I thought he beat Helenius quite comfortably

First fight was very good, one of Chisora's best performances and a bit unlucky.

Though, Derek would get plenty of opportunities in spite of the loss verdict, afterward.

Chisora will win

First fight was one of the worst robberies in the last 5 years...that was 9-3/10-2 stuff for Del

Going for DelBoy. Hopefully a KO so he doesn't get stiffed again. I had him clearly winning the last one. That Whyte fight would've put a few miles on his clock though!

2011, so 6 years.

5 years and 4 months to be precise

Lol. Massive robbery though. I had DelBoy winning very comfortably. Couldn't believe it when Helenius got it!

I think Dereck would stop him late this time around. As other said he won the first fight by a decent margin.

I thought that Helenius looked fantastic against Chisora in the first round of the first fight.

And then he broke his hand. And then Chisora easily won the fight. And then got robbed. And then got a title shot. And then spat water over Wlad. And then got glassed. And then got battered.

It was an interesting 8 months for Del Boy.

Can't say for sure who'd win the rematch but I do hope it's Del.

Del to win this for me on points.

Hate using the word robbery. But the first fight was a ROBBERY. The judges even wore balaclavas.

Even after all his antics and eccentrics, Del is one of my favourite British Boxers of the last decade.

I just watched round 1 again and Chisora totally outlanded and battered Helenius from the go, made him miss quite a bit with the jab.

I'll have to have another butchers. I remember thinking at the time that he could be in trouble if it carried like that.

If he lands on him anything like he landed on Whyte, he'll knock him clean out.

Would love Del Boy to right a grievous-previous wrong....and maybe some bitter memories of being mugged in the very same Helsinki arena will spur him on, put some real fire in that belly which he's always needed.

He's got a decent chance against Helenius who ain't exactly the most active heavyweight out there and is beginning to knock-on a bit too....plus Del knows he has the tools to get to the guy and has boxed in Finland before.

Sad to say, it does smack of a wee bit of a sideshow (despite the obligatory WBC bauble) but it is actually the kind of fight I do like because it has got some history and both guys absolutely need the win to remain in the European mix.

I think Del Boy will right this wrong

Rubbish. There will be a plethora of people queuing for Wilder. Think if Whyte beats Wach in June, he's more deserving, and in a much stronger position. Also if Breazeale follows through with his 'law suit', Wilder might offer him a voluntary to sweeten the situation.

Good call, excellent head movement and body punching from Derek (good jabbing to the body which was good to see)

That was Chisora's best performance. The steady pressure, head movement, fluid combo punching....he was even outboxing Helenius.

It was 118-110 stuff
