Chisora vs Helenius confirmed according to the scene

It's listed on boxrec as being for the EBU title.
So if Dimitrenko has vacated could that mean he will be stepping up for a world title fight?

 

he was stripped.

Alexander Dimitrenko, who previously held the title, was stripped of the belt because he's unable to fight in the next three months due to injury.

 

That seems a bit harsh 3 months isnt a long time to go without a defence.
I'm not sure a win against ziausys (19-43-3) should lead to a EBU shot. Would rather have seen this title shot go to Pulev or Ustinov

 

I haven't seen anything in Chisora's career so far that makes me think he will get a look in in this one!!!

 

Yeah but then you have to take into account how many times the guy has pulled out b4.

If ever a fighter should be nicknamed sick note it would have to be Dimitrenko.

 

Maybe this is the incentive Chisora needs to get into shape. He would have a chance if he does.

 

I fully believe this "injury" is predetermined.
I'm sure Dimitrenko wants nothing to do with Robert, he knows he'll lose... Sadly that's how these things go nowadays.

For the Helenius vs Chisora fight > Helenius by T/KO7 (assuming Chisora is in decent shape).

 

Dimitrenko is rubbish, did you see the sprott fight? He sucks.

 

Tough assignment for Chisora. Never really been won over by what I have seen.

He's pretty small for a heavyweight and as has been mentioned not very quick/agile for a small heavyweight. Also think his handspeed isn't great and the less aid about his conditioning the better. Even against Sexton he looked fairly gassed.

 

Yep, he should have lost that fight on the cards.
I have to admit I didn't score it because I fully expected him to level Sprott who's currently no more as a low level gatekeeper, but it was quite clear Sprott should have gotten the nod. Dimi sucked carrots in that bout.

 

His team are quite something the way they mess opponents around.

 

Helenius isn't the greatest boxer butdoes have power if Chisora can take his power it will be a very close fight

 

I was a bit worried about Chisora's attitude at the weekend, though. I know he said that he needs a challenge, but he seemed so distracted and not up for it between rounds against the Lithuanian. Seemed overly casual for his last fight before Helenius. Ordinarily I would have given Chisora an outside chance but I'm just not sure that his head is in the right place. Was odd to listen to the corner.

 

I dont think helenius has a strong defence or great footwork, an in shape chisora coming at him looking to fight may cause problems for helenius, like he did against fury. but i expect helenius to stop him late on.

 

hopefully chisora doesn't come in at 18 stone at 6"1
