    Chisora is limited but entertaining. More of a brawler than a boxer, although he is not without skill altogether, and he's a genuine lunatic who should be good value in the build up to the fight and at press conferences. Can punch a bit but ultimately does not belong in the ring with somebody of that quality. He'll should easily beaten by Wlad but will at least have a go at him and give it his best shot. Apparently comes from an interesting background - born in Zimbabwe and moved to London as a teenager.

    Supposedly he was part of the wealthy black elite in Zimbabwe which gave him something of a bad attitude. When he moved to London he first went to private school, then started getting into trouble. His probabtion officer introduced him to boxing. I think he's a *****, but i kinda like him because he's quite charismatic and an interesting character. There's a recent interview with him here:

    I happen to agree with that, apart from the punch in the mouth bit. Chisora is smarter than that, hes an old school wind up merchant who always makes me laugh. Not at him, but with him.
