    The interview below reveals that Journeyman Chisora turned down a huge sum of money to fight Ituama.

    No sign yet of other similar level fighters Journeyman Whyte and Fringe Journeyman Joshua willing to get in the ring with up and coming fighters.

    All three happy to bash no hopers on the way up but not willing to pass on their ringcraft to help younger fighters on the way to World Level.

    You wouldn't get this entitlement from Skelton, Sprott, and Williams let me tell ya. The unsung heroes of the 2000s UK heavy scene

    Big Martin Rogan and John McDermott as well.

    These guys loved a challenge.

    Chisora is on record and quoted as saying there isn’t a chance in hell of him fighting Itauma, as he says Itauma is too tough. He even laughed at Whyte for taking the fight.

    The chances of Whyte pulling a bicep whilst bashing one out, or tripping over a ping pong ball and injuring his knee before this fight and pulling out is astronomically high.

    Not to mention his other 'issues' - I think he is only keeping his name in the public eye for the Joshua rematch.

    I will believe he is fighting Moses when I see him in the ring.

    No way as he will want his final cheque from competing. That’ll be him done after that. Whyte has always given it his all in the ring but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him lie down or get up on the count if 10 lol Itauma will pulverise him

    I will be very impressed if this fight goes ahead and credit to Whyte if it does.
