    Chisora looked shot in his last fight.

    While I have to say if both take this fight it's better than a lot of guys would take, being coward to lose to a closely ranked foe. But, I wuld favor Takam. Chisora , while usually entertaining really hasnt won when stepping up, i dont know if Takam is a "Step up" per say, but certainly would shock lots of people if Chisora won by any way besides a fixed card

    Takam wide UD or even a late stoppage.

    Can't see Takam stopping Chisora, Takam isn't a big puncher and Chisora still has a good chin, Haye's the only one to really KO him.

    a late TKO/RTD isn't impossible given the dreadful shape Chisora has been in lately. But yeah. Chances are he'll stick around

    I've been wondering this quite a lot lately. Was Chisora in good shape in the Whyte fight or does Whyte just suck that much?

    Chisora was really good in that fight. I think it was one of the best fights i have ever seen from him. Prob better than his fight vs Pulev. It was definitely a robbery. I think this might robbed him his last piece of motivation considering his last approaches.

    Hard to imagine Del geeing himself up to fight Takam so I reckon he comes in half hearted and makes sure he does little enough to lose. They also won't mind letting Takam win as it helps build brand Joshua - yeah this guy gave AJ trouble and work to win every round but look how good he is against 'anyone' else type of bluster.

    He was in good shape, flew to Russia and sparred Povetkin.
    Povetkin's promoter said their sparring sessions were wars.

    He genuinely didn't like Whyte and that motivated him to actually train. He's a headcase is Dereck.
