    Fight could happen, but who do you have winning?
    Personally I think Dubois will win but I do like an underdog pulling a possible upset. Chisora has said no matter what fight he gets that fight will be his last. We'll see in the near future.

    "Derek Chisora tells Sky Sports he will retire after his next fight 'whatever happens' and that he 'badly wants' a world title shot vs Daniel Dubois at Wembley; the IBF will order Chisora's mandatory challenge for Dubois' heavyweight world title next month without a final eliminator" - Sky Sports

    It's not happening, Usyk will fight his mandatory chisora in a rematch after beating Dubois and retire undefeated and rematched all his British opponents. Usyk is only fighting British fighters on purpose to prove to the boxing world he would dominate Lennox Lewis. Usyk is smart

    Hard to see it happening and in the unlikely event it did and Chisora won, Chisora retiring without defending the title even more unlikely.

    Think the most obvious next up for Dubois is a unification bout with Usyk.

    Chisora gave Usyk a good task to complete in their 1st meeting, so that would probably be a good fight too

    Unlikely to happen that Chisora wins but if it does it’s a Rocky Balboa story.

    A few years ago Chisora would've had a reasonable chance here... But realistically now he doesn't - Dubois has improved too much for him whilst he's declined himself.

    It'd be great to see the mad ******* pull it off, but he wouldn't.

    I can't believe Chisora is 41, I think he's the oldest heavyweight world title contender in this current stage, as of now

    This fight shouldn't happen, Chisora is already badly brain damaged. His balance in the ring is awful, its really at the point now where something awful could happen to him, especially against a young guy like Dubois.
