    Not a chance- that's the third fight of the three fight deal. I wish Frank had been slightly more honest with his definition of "long term"- six months sure isn't long term.

    Absolutely zero chance.

    Unfortunately every Heayweight out there seems scared to fight this version of Chisora including Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder. Rudenko was actually a decent Euro level fighter to add to his record so it's a shame he got injured and it's going to be hard to find someone decent with a months notice.

    Possible opponents for Chisora and the Fury's.

    Derek Chisora: Johann Duhaupas, Andrey Fedosov, Krzysztof Zimnoch, Jovo Pudar, Alexander Petkovic and Andrzej Wawrzyk.

    Tyson Fury: Sherman Williams, Dominick Guinn, Marcelo Fabian Dominguez and Gbenga Oloukun.

    Hughie Fury: Zach Page, Evgeny Orlov and Tom Dallas.

    It was the same with Groves when he signed with Hearn - A three fight deal with a pact to fight Froch.

    It's better that way as the fighter keeps his options open.

    I'd probably go for Pudar for Chisora as he's still quite highly ranked somehow. Guinn for Tyson and Dallas for Hughie I say.

    There is no shortage of European heavyweights that we have heard of. No excuses for fighting a nobody.

    Boystov, Helenius, Dimitrenko are fine. Don't see why the opponent has to be ****.

    So is Helenius out of the question then because he is normally injured? it is short notice but there is the European title at stake. What about Arnold Gjergjaj? wasnt he the guy who pulled out of chisoras last fight if i rememeber?

    Why not consider Browne in that mix? Obviously not that date but for future - he is ready, willing and has proven he will travel.

    And how many of them want to come to the UK on 3 weeks notice? Or come to the UK at all? Or come unless there is big money? Or aren't injured or don't have other plans?

    There is money to be made with the European HW title, so that is some sort of temptation... but promoters today are pretty careful with 'name' fighters.

    I would say thats a good next fight for Tyson if he fights and wins on the 15th.Id be confident about the 2nd,but not the first.As you say,Browne would probably not shy away for the fight,would be glad of a decent payday.Peter Fury said he wants rounds for Tyson.Possibly he won't get that in the next one,but I think Browne would go at least to the halfway stage.Cant put my finger on why,but I can't see it.

    Tony Thompson would be good for Fury's second fight of the deal. Fury would probably win it and keep on track for the Chisora rematch, but a credible opponent.

    Edit: But Thompson has a fight with Odlanier Solis coming up.

    Interesting,Ryan.Must admit Ive got a liking for Sprott and at his age wouldn't like to see him in with a big young terror like Fury.Good point about Audley.Not necessarily an easy fight for Chisora,who probably isn't the puncher that Wilder,or Price,is and may be a bit befuddled by the southpaw stance.The boxer Id like to see challenge Derek for the Euro is Erkan Teper,though this fight won't happen.I reckon he could stop Dereks run by knocking him out,and don't suppose any of us,including his manager,want that.
