“I think the strapline, ‘Total Carnage’, is absolutely perfect for this fight, said Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, in terms of the build-up and in terms of the fight itself. Expect the unexpected but expect a thriller. Both men have been longstanding fixtures of the heavyweight division and it’s all or nothing at for both, as defeat could lead to the end of the road. Fans can expect a huge undercard and a brilliant main event.” Where to even begin with that.
Rooting for Chisora but instead of predicting the fight I'll predict some upcoming lies from Edward Hearn "Both are always entertaining, this is a guaranteed barn burner." "I don't know who will win but it won't go the distance and you can take that to the bank." "Whoever wins this will be very close to a world title shot." "This is a real crossroads fight, huge stakes, this is possibly the biggest fight of their careers." "These guys have history, there's real spite between the two after the controversial decision in their first fight." "A lot of people had Chisora winning those fights (Usyk and Parker). Do you think he will want to leave this one to the judges? Me neither."
"Chisora is always in exciting fights" He isn't, the first one, Pulev v Chisora, was a rubbish fight for starters, Chisora fighting like a guy with learning disabilities, unable to understand that telegraphed overhand rights thrown all night won't succeed.
Did you not see him fight Gashi? Usyk he got outclassed. Fight wasn't entertaining. Parker 1 - crap. Parker 2 - exciting because he got battered all night.
Chisora finally gets one punch too many and Eddie will be on screen crying again about how it's so unpredictable it was
Chisora for me just isn't entertaining, a fat guy who just swings wildly isn't what I'd call entertaining boxing at all. Out of his last 5 or 6 fights where do you see real entertainment?
What entertaining fights as he had in the last 3 or 4 years where he's suddenly become a headliner? Gashi fight was awful, Usyk and Parker 1 weren't entertaining and the 2nd Parker fight he just got battered all night. Throwing a few overhand rights that you can see coming a week off and shouting 'WAR' isn't entertaining
