    Fury is not comfortable on the backfoot, and does not have the power to keep Chisora honest imo. I envisage Chisora dragging him into a dog fight.


    Chisora will win imo.

    July? I bet it ends up on the under card of Wlad/Haye.

    That makes no sense.

    Chisora v Fury would be a fairly big money maker in the UK, why would they waste that as an undercard fight of a main event that sells itself?

    Warren will not let the purse bids go to Hennesy, he'll want to get away from any Gypo friendly area...

    However, them *******s will go all over to support their man, so they will inspire Fury to force Del Boy to quit on his stool after 8 !

    I don't know about the logistics of it with respect to promoters etc, but it could make financial sense. I bet a much larger number of people would see the fight if it was an undercard to Haye & Wlad, so the money lost by adding very little to a card that already sells itself could be offset by the excellent free advertising for both fighters. Over a few fights it may be worth it, perhaps not when just considering the one though.

    No, you're just wrong. It's a waste to put that on an undercard. Great for us fans but stupid from a business perspective. They'll advertise boxers on the undercard by pitting them against poor opposition who come cheap. That's the way it works.

    Fury is well known and Chisora has become much more popular since the Wlad debacle. That's why promoters will make that a main event for a show or feature in a Magnificent Seven type PPV show.

    Fury has physical advantages which could probly make this fight easy but he doesn't use them propely. He often ends up slugging it out on the inside and that suits his opponents considering size. I think this will be close and exciting, neither have scary KO power and both seem to have good beards so it will be a close decision imo, although if Fury uppercuts himself again and Chisora follows it up who knows lol.

    Fury is a poor quality boxer, but he wins because Steward will ensure he's good enough to jab & grab his way to victory against such a shoddy opponent.

    It could head line the British end of a card that ends up in Germany. That would be epic. I agree that they don't usually do this but there was some good undercard in the UK part of the Khan-Maidana PPV. Would not be tottally shocked but I expect Haye-Klitschko will end up on June 25th because Khan-Bradley is supposed to happen at the end of July and Sky only like to have 1 PPV a month.

    Chisora all the way, he's a good fighter whereas Fury is a big, average boxer with that cowardly gypsy blood in his veins.

    Chisora will stop him in the mid rounds and Tyson will go back to his caravan telling tall tales about how he was almost champion of the world but got robbed due to racism, or something.

    My thinking is that it was part of the step aside deal that Wlad gave Chisora.

    Also, with Haye being Brit, Fury being a Brit, Chisora being a brit... PPV will be off the chain with them on the under card.

    On top of that.. Steward is training Fury.. so I could see him pulling a Garcia and being in both corners that night, one right after the other.

    Basically, you have a fight (Chisora vs. Fury) that is interesting, but outside the UK is only worthy of free television...and you put that fight in front of a mega-fight.

    Nobody loses there.

    Great exposure for the contenders and British Boxing. Great under card for the fans. May bring in a few extra PPV buys for Wlad/Haye...

    Makes perfect sense to me.
