Anthony Joshua vs. Derek Chisora | DAZN PPV - 12 August 2023

[1111814]

David Haye “I got a call from Derek Chisora about a week ago telling me this exact thing would happen,” Haye told Seconds Out, “Derek told me that Dillian’s going to fail a drugs test.”

“He’s (Chisora) telling me he’s fighting AJ a week ago. Derek’s been training for that fight.”

Laughed so loud I spilled my coffee :lol: :lol: :lol:

[quickeyg]

Did MR set up Dillian? They needed publicity to come from somewhere. They need a storyline/narrative.


Haye was told by Chisora last week?


Looks/sounds fishy.

[Glass Joe]

Chisora, i feel likely get the call. 1) casuals know him, 2) got to protect AJ for Saudi , 3) AJ probably get the stoppage and media will say same thing would have happened against Dillion hes back. 4)Chisora likes money 5) weeks notice is a good way to say show would have been pulled.

So they new a week ago, keeping quiet whilst people book tickets trains hotels etc.

Saw a comment on a YouTube vid, some bloke had bought two tickets for boxing in his life, this and Benm Eubank. No offense but that pudendum is never joining my lottery syndicate

It's still better than Fury's next fight though isn't it Micky? What a state HW boxing is in.

Let's be honest, he's not very clued up in the first place, is he?

Obviously not but I doubt he would ever spend money on it again.

It's not about Fury, despite the usual suspects trying to make it so. I'm just surprised people who were so vociferous about the Fury fight are so supportive of this. Both are shocking. Tyson was his pal, AJ is his manager!

[veriton]

Chisora is only just a more unappetising fight than Whyte so if people were prepared to accept that as PPV this isn't a million miles away. But it's not a fight with any type of real intrigue or meaning. I'm guessing the sell will be that AJ will try and better Fury's showing. Tedious and a long way from Crawford v Spence or Inoue v Fulton but easy enough to avoid (as I will)

Not AJs fault, of course, but I'd have preferred a live underdog like Wardley (or even Big Fraze!) to this tired old retread.

Yet our Micky was also in full approval of Chisora facing Fury in his last fight .. he had more reasons to justify it than critisize it; pretty sure he called Fury a genius for making it

Why was it OK for a heavyweight world belt holder to face Chisora in a defence less than a year ago - and not a guy who is rebuilding after losing 2 of his last 3 fights Micky?

* for the record I was not in approval of Chisora facing Fury last time. And in an ideal world of Chisora facing AJ next .. but if the standards Fury sets as champion are the standard, then Chisora v AJ is absolutely fair.

I don't know if you watched it, highly likely you did wether you admit it or not, but Del got a bad hiding. All you guys who said he shouldn't have been anywhere near Fury are now happy to see him in with AJ with even more miles on the clock. Unless it is you just rate Tyson so far ahead of AJ.

yet you go on and on and on

[Glass Joe]

The most important question is will the IFL live show still go ahead

[BigDoofus]

Having turned down 2 World title shots in the past 9 months, Joshua continues to get an easy ride on here from people who actually believe that he is finally facing Wilder in about 120 days.

[handsofstone]

Wouldn't believe a word that comes out of Haye or Chisora's mouth, both well known spoofers

[joshj909]

Joshua's third fight cancelled on short notice over the past few years. Two for opponents doping. Must be frustrating when he's accused of doping all time time yet never failed a test (rightly or wrongly).

[handsofstone]

Matchroom put on more shows than anyone and I'd say do more testing as well so by the law of averages more of their fighters will get popped so even if you hate Hearn don't be fooled into thinking this is a Matchroom thing or even a British thing, they're all at it, promotional banners or nationality doesn't come into it

In saying that, Eddie's made a big song and dance about how Matchroom pay for more testing than anyone else, which was fine when his fighters are clean, the proofs in the pudding when his guys pop though and we've seen with Benn and twice with Whyte where his morals really lie


Wonder if Dillian Whyte will sue Eddie for pulling the fight whilst being legally obliged to put it on, after all this is another vada fail, not BBBC

[The Gratest]

Has this been confirmed? A shit match up no-one really wants to see. Don't try to dress it up for what it actually is though; a last minute replacement to try and save a show where others are dependent on it going ahead. It's not as if Chisora was the planned and contracted opponent months ago.
After Fury's laboured 10rd TKO of Chisora, his worshippers should be worried about this fight happening. If Joshua walks through Chisora in quick time, the casuals will do a direct comparison and, to them, it'll just add further evidence that Fury's avoiding Joshua. He could lose some more fans because of this, following on from the tidal wave that turned on him after the previous AJ and Usyk farces.

If anybody should be giving him an easy ride it’s you.

You defended your man fighting Chisora, so can’t criticise someone who is rebuilding fighting him.

No - not confirmed and I hope it doesn’t happen.

Yep - I watched it.
And it went pretty much as everyone predicted - and based on those predictions - most in the knitting circle didn`t feel Fury should have fought him. Yet you justified Fury fighting Del for a number of reasons .. and actually praised him as being a genius in doing so.
Lets be honest here Micky mate - you are in no position to criticise if Joshua does fight Chisora now after the argument you provided for Fury to just fight him.

I do rate Fury above Joshua based wholly on him being a world title belt holder and Joshua at this stage merely a contender. If Fury can fight Chisora in his last fight, why wouldn`t it be fair for a guy rebuilding after losing 2 or his last 3?
