    Isn't Chisora the IBF mandatory?

    That whole scenario was confusing

    Looking it up he's number 2 with no number 1 which looks like they need an eliminator round to determine their mandatory.

    But even if we accept that he is, Wardley and Kabayel are still in front as far as I'm concerned.

    Absolutely, unfortunately Uysk doesn't appear to want to head in either direction

    He won an IBF eliminator but didn't fight a final eliminator to become mandatory, which is why the current IBF rankings has him only at number 2 and the number 1 spot is vacant.

    Yes! That's it

    Warren and Co spouted mandatory so often it got confusing
    Which I'd imagine was the intention

    I will be sticking a few quid on Chisora to win by stoppage if the fight does go ahead

    My prediction: Wilder stops him. And the 80 percent who picked Chisora will claim it was a dive.

    :rolleyes:

    Wilder put Helenius out like a light, and people here were claiming that was a dive. So, it's inevitable.

    Am I the only one who kind of doesn't care? Neither is half the fighter they used to be. Do we not have any HW prospects to pay attention to?

    It's definitely possible, power is the last thing to go in older boxers.

    Wilder is absolutely shot to pieces. Chisora less so.

    In their primes, Wilder would have taken Chisora out, but Wilder is a mere shadow of the beast he once was and even he knows it. His confidence is gone. His accuracy has deserted him. Even his power seems to have dissipated.

    Chisora will apply pressure from the first bell and provided he swarms forward like he usually does and gives Wilder no space to work in, will likely win comfortably.

    I think Chisora will win.

    Fancy a friendly ban bet? I'll let you determine the length of the ban. I will accept any length of time you select.
