They've been talking about a 'farewell' fight for Chisora since Covid. So long as the heavyweight division remains in a dire state to where a glorified brawler like him can still get paid good money for fights, he may be fighting until he's 50 :OhYes:

Chisora vs Wallin was an IBF eliminator. Bakole vs Ajagba was supposed to be the other eliminator with the two winners facing off as a final eliminator. With Bakole now facing Parker, the two highest remaining IBF ranked heavyweights are Sanchez and Ajagba. Could we see Sanchez vs Ajagba 2 with the winner facing Chisora for the final eliminator?

Unless the IBF sanction Parker and Bakole as an eliminator but you would imagine the winner would take the Usyk fight.as they'd be interim WBO champ.

1. Vacant
2. Vacant
3. Martin Bakole
4. Frank Sanchez
5. Joseph Parker
6. Efe Ajagba
7. Anthony Joshua
8. Filip Hrgovic
9. Derek Chisora

Personally, I'd like it to be Miller though.

Have him fight Miller with the winner facing the Whyte v Joyce victor :TU:

If AJ keeps his cool, it should be a relatively easy night for him IMO.

If it's not Joshua, they are crazy. Should be AJ's next fight.

Should have had a option for another 42 fights and I'm hoping Miller but if it matches his ambition then Joshua

It would have to make sense for Joshua. Joshua and his team would actually be negotiating the fight for both fighters which would be interesting. If Fury is retired and Joshua can't get the Dubois rematch anymore, Chisora is probably the biggest name comeback opponent he can find. Another would be the Joyce/Whyte winner. He would have to wait for some losers from tonight if he wants a higher ranked opponent. If he wants a softer touch then Hughes would be a funny one because it's not the Joshua vs Fury we all wanted.

If Joshua can't fight Fury he would be mad not to take this money spinning gimme the casuals would lap up.

I want it to be pulev so at least it can be for a belt of sorts and it’s a good level for a “rejuvenated” Chisora.

Chisora wants Parker as well now for another trilogy didn't take him seriously as a profile opponent but he now one of the best

I think Wallin in the rematch as he gave old Derek such a tough night last time out .
The fact that Chisora rolled back the years and gave a brilliant display would ensure another barnburner.

Will be Whyte if he beats Joyce.

Revenge.

What would be the point of possibly losing to Whyte for a third time. Makes no sense and is not a easy sell

Parker completely dominated the rematch and in essence fight 1 wouldn't have been even a little controversial had Parker not had that flash knockdown.

That is not an appealing fight for me - no real benefit at all (no title) and Parker is improving, Chisora is going downhill and he was completely worked out by Parker in fight 2.

I would actually prefer Usyk to Parker.

The IBF rarely bypass their own rules. They had mandated Bakole and Ajagba to face off for a second eliminator with the winner facing Chisora in a final eliminator. Bakole has plummeted down the rankings but as it stands 1 is vacant, 2 is Chisora and 3 is Ajagba. Ajagba will likely need to face Sanchez, Joshua, Hrgovic or Huni before the winner faces Chisora.

Chisora's last battle will be dementia.
He should have quit years ago.
