    Fight could happen, but who do you have winning?
    Personally I think Dubois will win but I do like an underdog pulling a possible upset. Chisora has said no matter what fight he gets that fight will be his last. We'll see in the near future.

    "Derek Chisora tells Sky Sports he will retire after his next fight 'whatever happens' and that he 'badly wants' a world title shot vs Daniel Dubois at Wembley; the IBF will order Chisora's mandatory challenge for Dubois' heavyweight world title next month without a final eliminator" - Sky Sports

    It's not happening, Usyk will fight his mandatory chisora in a rematch after beating Dubois and retire undefeated and rematched all his British opponents. Usyk is only fighting British fighters on purpose to prove to the boxing world he would dominate Lennox Lewis. Usyk is smart

    Hard to see it happening and in the unlikely event it did and Chisora won, Chisora retiring without defending the title even more unlikely.

    Think the most obvious next up for Dubois is a unification bout with Usyk.

    Chisora gave Usyk a good task to complete in their 1st meeting, so that would probably be a good fight too

    Unlikely to happen that Chisora wins but if it does it’s a Rocky Balboa story.

    A few years ago Chisora would've had a reasonable chance here... But realistically now he doesn't - Dubois has improved too much for him whilst he's declined himself.

    It'd be great to see the mad ******* pull it off, but he wouldn't.

    I can't believe Chisora is 41, I think he's the oldest heavyweight world title contender in this current stage, as of now

    This fight shouldn't happen, Chisora is already badly brain damaged. His balance in the ring is awful, its really at the point now where something awful could happen to him, especially against a young guy like Dubois.

    Sad to hear that he's retiring.
    I feel like we missed out on some big KO losses. Zhang, Wilder, Croatian ...
    Dubious will obliterate him, which is good and bad. It might make the retirement stick.

    I do wonder if Chisora regrets basically promising one more fight considering he could get a huge fight on the horizon if he beats his next challenger. I think AJ V Chisora would be a realistic and fun fight.

    As for Dubois V Chisora - Dubois has too much for Chisora IMO, Chisora isn't hard to hit and Dubois is on a different galaxy in terms of power to Wallin and Chisora will get too much punishment as a result.

    Chisora would be a great name on Dubois' resume, but I doubt Chisora can overcome a much younger opponent...

    You'd have to go with Dubois here, he is younger, stronger and has more power. Chisora is decent but not not enough to wind back the clock and win here. The only way I could see a Chisora victory is where Dubois doesn't take it serious and spends more time partying than in camp and gets a shock at how forward Chisora is.

    I don't think its likely this fight will happen. IBF will let the unification go through and then the winner will either face Parker or Chisora as their mandatory. Its possible that Parker or Chisora get elevated to full champ without having to fight this year.

    Go back and watch the Chisora-Usyk fight. It was in a matchbox ring (huge equalizer for Chisora) and after a few rounds, Usyk was completely in control. It was closer on the scorecards than it was in the ring.

    Chisora is a warrior and a joy to watch, but he doesn't need to be anywhere near the title picture.
