    I’m not particularly fussed by this; unless we get an upset, this fight tells us very little. Chisora tends to lose whenever he goes up against a top 10 opponent, so I’m not expecting much else here.

    What are we talking here, result of the fight. Just the method? Pretty sure.

    Usyk will probably win, Chisora is nearly 40 and has been in a lot of wars. Hopefully he turns in a better performance than he did against 37 year old glass jawed Chazz Witherspoon, who didn’t seem to have a problem finding Usyks chin

    Usyk following Haye's blue print in beating washed up journeyman for a title shot. The sooner this scrawny cruiserweight is squashed by a obese behemoth, the better! lol

    Chisora isn't an easy opponent for anyone when in shape, so I don't expect Usyk to have it all his own way but Dereck is nearing the end of his career, he's been written off more than once before, but now I think it's too much to expect him to go to the well again and pull something out, especially against someone as good as Usyk who would of likely beaten him even in his prime.

    Uysk as per usual takes a few rounds to find his way before slowly turning the screw. Chisora may even win some of the early rounds but once Usyk steps on the gas I think Usyk will take control. Chisora will still have enough heart and desire to go the distance though but loses on points.

    An impressive win for Usyk will make the inevitable Joshua fight a huge event. I'll happily buy this on PPV.

    Hopefully Hrgovic vs Bakolie gets added too. Its a good main even but it still needs a little filling out.

    Good gage to show us how Usyk will carry his weight up.

    This is a very dangerous fight for Usyk.

    Usyk has a chance to make a statement and really throw his hat in the mix with a big win.
