Those suggesting Hughie Fury are way off the mark, would be PPV suicide. Imagine a none interested Chisora against Hughie, my god it would be bad. Think Hunter would be a similar fight, I wouldnt take that if I was Derrick. The Bakole fight is a nothing fight, Derrick would have more to lose than win if he was to get beat, he doesn’t take that. 3 options for me. Breazeale Povetkin Pull out the show all together.
Pulev is with Top Rank now? In fairness maybe Frank should offer Dubois or Joyce as I think both beat Delboy
People saying expecting a big name is optimistic but if Eddie wants to save this PPV and do some numbers then he needs to spend the money
Completely agree. He either keeps Del boy on the card in a winnable fight against a semi name such as Molina and puts another good fight together such as the Kelly vs Robinson rematch otherwise this is a really tough sell as a PPV. Also wouldn't suprise me if they put Kuzmin in with Chisora as would give him the chance to get back in the mix.
Pulev fighting DeMori just underlines that’s he’s not risking his IBF mandatory for anything, he’s waiting for his pension (title shot). Hunter has Publicly thrown his hat into the ring but Hearn needs him more for Saudi and the Povetkin fight. For Chisora fight to go ahead, the replacement needs to be known to the casuals. That’s why I’m saying step forward David Price. Probably a livelier fight than Parker would be and a brutal KO guaranteed.
I’ve got tickets for this and i’d be up for Price, Povetkin or Hunter. No interest in Breazeale or Hughie.
Pulev already schooled Chisora 118-110 a few years back. He doesn't need to fight him again. Yes, Pulev is with Top Rank.
Ruiz was announced 4 weeks before and made a name for himself - everyone should want this fight. You beat chisora in front of his own crowd on PPV and people are gonna be talking.... Hunter has the right idea.
Hunter has offered to step in as a replacement for Parker. Got to love Hunters attitude, took on both Bakole and Ustinov fights on short notice and was the first to offer to be the replacement fighter for Miller vs AJ and Parker vs Chisora.
If they don't go with Hunter I hope it's Baokle, Bakole Vs Chisora would be a very entertaining slugfest.
