I've got a suspicion that Buatsi will fight Mikhalkin for the vacant EBU on this card, and that Callum Johnson will now fight Bivol in the US.
That's a good looking card but let's be honest he always promises these types of cards when announcing a fight.
Chisora would flatten Bakole, he is being far to over rated on this forum, Del Boy would wipe the floor with Hrgovic too. Usyk can play with him all he wants. Chisora can also do 12 rounds and he will be throwing bombs constantly. WAR CHISORA IS GOING TO KNOCK USYK OUT!!!! Team Chisora all day.
Looks to be a good card. Looking forward to it. Fury v Wilder aside the first couple of months of 2020 have been a boxing wasteland so hopefully marks the start of some good cards being arranged.
I still say chisora will give him a fight. Its a bit of a set up for me tbh....in that chisora is the perfect style for usyk to look good against. Short reach. Come forward fighter. Thats not great at pacing himself. Usyk will tire him out but chisoras still a live dog for me. Hes hitting hard nowadays. The set up is usyk will be easy work for joshua. Just too big. Usyk drowns guys by getting them working harder than they want to be working. With joshua having the reach advantsge usyk wont be able to get him working harder than he wants to without taking big damage on the way. Should be an easy night for joshua. Chisoras being used here to sell that fight. Still wouldn,t be surprised if chisora if it backfires and chisora at least makes him look average. Hearn looking for a safe path for joshua...pulev then usyk....then probably fury. None of them punchers.
I can’t argue with that card to be honest, although I don’t see Chisora being competitive after about 2 or 3 rounds, but I will let that slide.
Chisora is the kind of fighter that will showcase Usyk's skills very well. Usyk should look great against Chisora, and Chisora isnt concerned about taking another loss either. Hrgovic vs Bakole is potentially a great fight. Avanesyan is going to expose Kelly.
Would be a much better fight than Pulev but the IBF ordered their mandatory far in advance of the WBO. Still interested to see Usyk against a strong aggressive heavyweight in Chisora
I have limited interest in the fight. We already know exactly what we will see. The only question is can Chisora land a big punch? Apart from that it's a showcase fight for Usyk.
I’ve said on here many times, Chisora is as jaded as **** but has got away with it due to his new found dedication and fitness. I think Usyk will stop him late but it’ll be interesting for a few rounds if Del Boy jumps on notorious Usyk’s slow start
