Who will you be rooting for: Deontay Wilder or Dereck Chisora?

As an American, I’m rooting for Chisora, as he was the “lubricant” of the heavyweight division. Chisora is the GOAT gatekeeper in any division, and the current heavyweight landscape has a lot to thank him for.

Wilder was just another “wrench” in the heavyweight division as a champion, doing nothing but taking layups for a decent chunk of his career. No different from his rival Fury.

 

I don't have a preference as to who wins, I just hope the loser recognises their day is done and retires. Hell, I hope the winner does that too.

 

Kinda leaning towards Chisora. I don't think he'll win, but I feel his story would be greater with the win. He ran into the lion's den against everyone. Took the hard route. Wilder took the easy route.

 

Chisora. He's been a throwback for well over a decade and I find him pretty hilarious.

 

Both have been a credit to the HW division for a good decade.
Wish both well

I always felt Chisora had it very tough fighting on the tough British/European scene where the matchmaking is often tougher
Many on that scene don't reach their full potential due to so many tough matches

 

Wilder. He gets enough hate and deserves a 2nd look at beyond "hes washed".

Chisora keeps failing upward imagine if he loses to Wilder and wins a few rounds this will continue. Seemingly everyone in the boxing world adores Chisora he doesn't need to win.

 

Wilder because Chisora needs to stop taking hits as soon as possible.

 

I like and respect both but i hope wilder takes it !

Most important i hope for a good fight !

 

I'd be amazed if Wilder survives Chisora.

Wilder ain't got it anymore and this bout will highlight it.

Chisora might be old and worn as hell but he's still got a little something.

 

Just want a good fight, think Chisora will win as Wilder can't pull the trigger anymore like he used to.

 

Double KO would be ideal

 

I'd like Wilder to take the win and get a second wind. Since Fury 1 he's had mostly solid opposition, which is more than we can say of some contenders (and even champions) at the moment.

 

Wilder thinks there's a racist conspiracy against him and was literally calling for a race war in the build up this fight. Taking more hits to the head certainly isn't going to do him any favors either.

 

I'm pretty split on who I think will win. But in terms of who id like to see win, probably Chisora. I feel he's ultimately more likeable and has conducted his career in a more meaningful way, IMO.
