    Not too excited about this one. Helenius was never all that good, sparked by Duhaupus. Awful that a Chisora-Whyte rematch hasn't been made. Chisora will probably win on points but could get robbed.

    What would Chisora even earn from winning a WBC Silver title? Whyte is still ahead of him in the WBC rankings.

    I think there's a pretty good chance Helenius gets KO'd... He's lost a couple of steps and his punch resistance is pretty shaky at this stage.

    It's a decent enough fight. There's history behind it, and there's still a chance Whyte/Chisora II will be made later in the year.

    I used to really like Whyte but he has absolutely done a bottle job on the rematch. A very, very bad duck.

    Whyte is not that good. After all he lost the first fight, and could cash out with a title shot based on his current ranking.

    It makes perfect financial sense for Whyte to avoid a rematch vs Chisora until he has had his cash out title shot.

    And would like to see the whyte rematch, but despite playing himself off as a proper fighting man, whyte is just a bottle job

    Fair enough, particularly in that this fight is coming four years too late. But, at least Chisora isn't scheduled at this point in the process to fight his favourite proposed opponent (that being "TBA"), as he has about a dozen previous times.

    Chisora got bashed up by Whyte and went missing for weeks did anyone see any post fight interviews? whereas Whyte did interviews straight after and first thing in the morning looking fresh as a daisy.

    Chisora was way too inactive in most of the rounds to win, the rounds last 3 minutes not 30 seconds

    He hardly got bashed up. Can't remember a moment where Chisora was hurt but Whyte was. And crucially Chisora technically scored a KD in that final round where Whyte was kept up by the ropes. Whyte was all over the place in that final round. Chisora's biggest problem was his gas tank rather than Whyte's power, he ate his shots like candy floss.

    Chisora beat Whyte clearly by 1-2 points on my card. Why are some of the morons here claiming he was "bashed up"

    Anyway on topic.

    Helenius wins a wide UD in the rematch. Chisora is now slower and has lower punch output that ever before, and I do not see him doing enough to go to a mans hometown and win a decision. He has become an opponent level HW now, as its clear he will never be a world champion.

    Chisora clearly won the fight vs Whyte, I had it 117-111, Chisora was in a different class. He will stop Helenius, who was always terribly overrated imo, in Finland.
