Do you approve of Tyson Fury fighting Chisora in December? (poll)
Posted: 11 Oct 2022, 15:51
What do you think - is this a good fight for the WBC heavyweight titleholder, or should he fight someone he hasn't already beaten twice?

So it was inevitable that Tyson Fury was going to engage in a low-risk stay busy bout, whilst patiently waiting for Usyk and Joshua to finally sign their mega payday contracts. And ‘Del Boy’ is an ideal opponent for him to engage in an interim fight.
Dereck Chisora always seems to give it his all during his bouts and they are phenomenally entertaining to watch!
‘Del Boy’ beat Takam and Pulev. He was also far more competitive against Oleksandr Usyk than Anthony Joshua was.
One could easily argue that Chisora boasts unofficial victories over the likes of Whyte, Parker and Helenius.
Dereck has also filled many stadiums and headlined lots of PPV’s and Sky Sports main events, which means he’s a commercially big name.
And he is also phenomenal at selling fights. His antics always seem to grab the media headlines.
When Chisora eventually faces Tyson Fury in December, more than eight years would have passed since they last fought. He’s earned the right to compete in another marquee bout.
The BoxRec forum also considers Dereck Chisora to be amongst the top-eight world-rated heavyweights competing today, above the likes of Bakole, Ortiz, Wallin, Helenius, Sanchez, Pulev and Hrgovic.
And finally, Tyson Fury has always doggedly maintained for several years that he planned to fight Wilder, Joshua and Chisora before retiring:
“I’m going to knock Wilder out, and he’s not going to want a rematch, I’m going to fight Joshua, I’m going to beat him too, and then I’ve always said to my old pal Derek Chisora I’d have a farewell fight with him.
“Maybe we can get the Old Trafford fight with old Del Boy.
“And then it’s curtains on a fantastic career.”
Therefore, Tyson Fury’s intention to have one final outing against Dereck Chisora was always one of his goals that no one previously complained about, so why are people moaning now?![]()
probably because Fury has done a miserable job of cleaning out his era and given how rarely he fights can ill afford pointless mismatches. How is he going to find time to fight Joyce, Joshua, Usyk, Sanchez etc when he fight basically once a year? If he was fighting better opponents more regularly it would be less of an issue.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑12 Oct 2022, 04:54 Tyson Fury tried to get Usyk, but he didn’t want to fight until the new year. ‘The Gypsy King’ also tried to face Anthony Joshua, but AJ wouldn’t agree terms.

Your justification comes at no surprise, but is a joke. Hell, people would be much more excited about a Wallin rematch, which his old man said Tyson deserved to lose.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑12 Oct 2022, 04:54 Tyson Fury tried to get Usyk, but he didn’t want to fight until the new year. ‘The Gypsy King’ also tried to face Anthony Joshua, but AJ wouldn’t agree terms.

Judging from the poll result as well as comments on twitter and other social media, most fans, writers and other boxers do not agree.
Is it PPV worthy too Henry?HomicideHenry wrote: ↑12 Oct 2022, 00:26 If it was strictly a non-title match I would have no problem. If it was strictly an exhibition I would have no problem. But if this is to go down as a title defense I think historically speaking it will go down as one of the more weakest title defenses in heavyweight history.
Mind you Muhammad Ali fought a lot of no hopers while as the champion like Richard Dunne, Jean Pierre Coopman, Alfredo Evangelista, etc--- but the difference between the bum of the month roadshow that Muhammad Ali did and what's transpiring now is that at least Muhammad Ali was active fighting basically every three or four months.
It's a bit forgivable to fight a couple of bums in between really big fights especially if you are constantly on television being in fights. It's really not that forgivable to basically fight once or twice a year and one of the fights is against a no-hoper who you already defeated twice before.
To be honest with you I think the vast majority of pay-per-views these days are not pay-per-view-worthy. Wilder-Helenius, for example, or even Ruiz-Ortiz, to my mind was not pay-per-view worthy. This match here, if it indeed goes ahead between Fury-Chisora, should not be a pay-per-view but rather free television.KiwiRider wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 15:24Is it PPV worthy too Henry?HomicideHenry wrote: ↑12 Oct 2022, 00:26 If it was strictly a non-title match I would have no problem.

Because, as well as a weak arse defence from a guy who claims to be the best on the planet, they are going to make you pay to watch it, and you can also guarantee the undercard will suck so badly you will be fast forwarding as quickly as you can.
I think everyone can agree with you on most fights not being ppv worthy.HomicideHenry wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 16:14To be honest with you I think the vast majority of pay-per-views these days are not pay-per-view-worthy.

Probably that renowned sh*t stirrer ThatcherSyntax Error wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 18:36 The most pointless trilogy fight in modern boxing history.
How will Fury get motivated to beat a guy he's comfortably beaten twice already?
Will anybody even pay for this shyte?
