    says here "There's no backwards steps anymore, not at this stage. It would be the likelihood of a Chisora, something like that. He's probably more of a front-runner over someone like Kabayel," he said

    great fight takes on all comers and even tho Chisora has been in with everyone Wardley aint fussed, brave for first title voluntary imo

    I actually don’t mind the fight.

    Wardley has done well and deserves a fight like this

    deserves the big fights and thats whats he would be getting here as Chisora has headlined a dozen odd bouts behind paywall and lets be honest he will give everything to win that belt would chisora so imo very risky for Wardley and has to be given credit for this

    think wardley would win but for however long it lasts and it wouldnt last long it will be a barn burner imo

    got fury and Joshua facing no marks and heres fab going on with Chisora for first defence of his title says it all really an absolute lion of a man is fab

    Who would have thought 2 years ago that White Collar Wardley would be fighting Ultimate Pudding Chisora for a World Title Belt.

    British Level Chisora having a crack at all is a disgrace, never mind a 3rd crack.

    Kabayel is the most deserving challenger out of the lot of them at present and this is the man that Usyk or the vacant belt holders should fight next.

    Sensible management IMO. Chisora is a big name (sadly) and it will help raise Wardley’s profile.

    There are fights i'd rather see but this would still be a decent enough defence. Del Boy is somehow still around the top 15 right now and this would almost certainly prove to be a fun war.

    sadly you mean cos you think Wardley may pole axe him ? hes still a huge name and loved by the uk boxing fans, just check the videos here online and the comments

    would love fab to get it cos Chisora can sell a ticket or two and he will make a good bit of money for his wife and his newborn

    saying that I dont know the wife and she may spunk it up the wall on clothes cars curtains furniture etc. you never know these days.

    It's definitely a smart move for a first defence and maximising his earnings until a bigger fight comes along

    However Chisora really don't deserve anything

    Let's hope this really is his last fight and he stops stinking up other boxers interviews etc

    It is a fight that makes sense.

    Chisora is a decent level HW who always puts a good shift in, and has not been folded up in recent years.

    Wardley needs an opponent and is probably struggling to find one given the changes recently in where the money is coming from.

    Chisora is also an opponent that offer him some challenges. Good fight in my opinion and no idea why it would be criticised.

    Chisora's brain is going to resemble a bowl of chicken gumbo soup by the time he retires; give it ten years and he and Danny Williams will be squaring up to each other in their nursing home.

    Bit of a cop out from Wardley. Chisora is past being a live contender at world level nowadays. I’d rather Wardley fight Kabayel or Dubois next.

    Chisora to be demolished and the referee stops the fight between the 8th and 12th round...

    I'd say it's a 50-50 fight. Chisora always brings excitement.

    I hope Del Boys wife asks him what the bank account details are before the fight. This is a very bad idea, but it’s Chisora’s choice
