    Has the "Saudi boxing ambassador" (11th ranked active heavyweight on Boxrec, heavyweightboxing.com's 23rd) blagged his way into another big fight?

    Ngannou inside 3 if it happens.

    Will be hilarious is Chisora wins and to be honest I wouldn’t count him out.

    wanting to inflate the new glorified lump... with gossip that only the name remains... here the only culprit that this clown has a name in boxing is Fury... tremendous lazy out of shape, a shameful undisciplined... maybe Francis he won't have a boxing career

    Beat me to it.

    I kind of see this as a win-win. If Chisora wins, it rights things with the boxing haters and proves Fury is just lazy and shot. IF Ngannou wins, it builds him as a potential contender, and let's be honest, boxing could use it.

    Seems like a fair fight to see where Ngannou actually is. Would answer some preliminary questions at least.

    Chisora is shot

    Granted it would only be Ngannou's second fight under boxing rules, and it will be a very quick turnaround for him too, so you can't hate on it, but Big Bang Zhang would be a much more intriguing opponent.

    But if I was one of Ngannou's handlers I would strongly advise him against facing Big Bang and steer him in the direction of a Chisora level opponent instead.

    Chisora is still dangerous and is capable of outworking Ngannou to a decision. Interesting fight though

    I'm giving Chisora a chance because he's a complete boxer with incredible experience, he's fought literally everyone, but at the same time I feel sorry for him because he's going to take extra damage because of his bravery...

    Makes you wonder why Chisora can always make all the fights but the others can’t.

    Because he’s a prostitute in the game.

    If there’s a fool to throw money somewhere you bet Chisora will be there to catch em.
