    “It’s funny. I got a call from Derek Chisora about a week ago telling me this exact thing would happen. Derrick told me a week ago that Dillian is going to fail a drugs test.

    I didn’t pay much attention to it. He’s telling me that he’s fighting AJ a week ago, told me to keep it myself, but the news is out there now that Dillian is not going to be in the ring with AJ on the 12th.

    Derek has been training for that fight. He’s brought the same camp, the same team that he had for the Usyk fight, he hasn’t done that since the Usyk fight, he knows he’s going to need another Usyk fight performance. Very very interesting.”

    “I think there should be an announcement at some stage. I think it’s great fight. Derek always gives value for money, he’s a Londoner, it’s at the O2 arena.

    If you look at Dillian and Derek, if you look at their last fight, Derek was winning the fight until he got the point deducted and unfortunately got chinned in the 11th round, but it was a very close fight. It’s a great stand in fight.

    “Innocent until proven guilty. We’ve seen it in recent days where Conor Benn had been dragged through the mud about his failed test, but it’s not failed until it’s ruled that you’ve cheated in someway and he’s been exonerated. So let’s not jump on Dillian just yet until all the evidence is in.”

    It wouldn’t surprise me.

    But this does expose Hearn again, as why did he wait a week to announce the failed test? It was purely in my book to get more buys, as he knew that Chisora vs AJ isn’t going to sell as much as Whyte vs AJ.

    With how AJ now fights, it should be ok for Chisora to get through this fight safely. It’s not like AJ is going to step on the gas and throw hands on the inside with ill intent. He has not done that since the Ruiz Jr first fight.

    Chisora is more dangerous than Whyte for 4 rounds. Just has to not let AJ clip him early.

    Hate to say it but Joshua/Chisora seems the most likely replacement. British fans know and like Chisora so it will sell even if it's a mismatch and Hearn gets to keep it in house. But Chisora should really just retire, he already taken far too much punishment over his long career.

    How many big fights is Chisora going to get ffs? Plenty of other prime fighters out there for AJ to pick, which means Chisora it is.
    Looking forward to Chisora's trilogies with AJ, Usyk, and maybe Wilder.

    To be fair, you can't call yourself a top 5 heavyweight until you have faced the gatekeeper that is Derek 'War' Chisora.

    It's almost like a coming of age thing - AJ has clearly been ducking Derek since about forever ;)

    What an absolute garbage fight. At least Joshua would try to spark Washington, but him and Chisora are friends. Not to mention he lost 4 out of his last 5 fights.

    He is always the go to easy win opponent for everyone at heavy.

    Why has there never been talk of Joshua an Chisora fighting before? Are they best buddies?

    Chisora will make it a good fight and even has a shot at winning. Styles make fights and I think Chisora is all wrong for AJ at this stage. AJ should win but this is not a certainty.

    If everyone at heavyweight fought the fighters Dereck did we would be talking about the best generation of heavyweights of all time and they would be making mega money, which they would deserve. I love Floyd he's one of my favourite fighters, but the precedent Floyd has set has destroyed boxing. I get it Floyd Maweather Sr had the talent but not the belief which he installed into his son real talk. TBE is real not a bogus thing.

    I've been reading rumours that any purse Chisora makes Haye takes 20% I would retire for that fact Del you would make a great trainer and a promoter please don't take any more punches sir you're almost 40 Del the real fans appreciate the dedication, lack of fear to fight anybody and all whilst being 100% PED free.

    Lol, Usyk fight where he outlanded Olekasndr in TWO rounds...the same two rounds Usyk always gives away...and was staggered in the 7th?

    Good night, Derrick. This is finally going to be the one that retires you.
