    investment bankers would be embarrassed with all the golden handshakes Chisora is getting

    most generous pension fund in boxing history

    He's Zimbabwean anyway. Convictions for assaulting women. And a bully. He's also as street as the cast of Made in Chelsea. He's a posh boy.

    I don’t understand what he has in common with these prominent Jewish businessmen, I was at laurence kirschel’s office some years back and he Chisora was walking around like he owned the place. Didn’t understand the friendship at all.

    Don’t think AJ will fight Chisora but if he does Eddie will give us the hard sell tomorrow on talksport

    Has to be hrgovic if possible. Mckean, Wallin are southpaws. Chisora is a plodder and Ruiz will just get jabbed for 12 rounds again. If he’s serious about beating wilder in the winter then Hrgovic is the only realistic proposition that has any relevance and who has the size and is dangerous enough and yet a winnable fight.

    That being said Hrgovic may not even want it when he will have been preparing for a southpaw fighter in his camp.

    Chisora shouldn’t have been getting any chances over 5 years ago. Never mind after numerous more losses!

    Hrgovic is surely the natural replacement?

    Apparently, the Gerald Washington banter was inaccurate as Hearn is looking elsewhere:

    Huge shame for all the other fighters if so but I did think that they might not put Joshua in with anyone else when there was nothing announced by last night. Doubt he was that keen on a late replacement after last time!

    Appreciate I don't know the details but couldn't they just run the rest of the card and cancel the PPV?
