    He's had a tremendous career, but would another loss here tonight against Whyte mean his career would most likely be over?

    Doubt it. Win or lose think Haymon would be looking at a Chisora fight for Joyce in one of his UK fights.

    How do you mean it? Do you mean a loss here and he can wave goodbye to any dreams he may of being a champion? Or a loss here and he should hang them up?

    Hang them up for good, he's 35 next week. This would be his 9th loss if he loses, his goal was to be world champion, what's the point to keep fighting on at this age, with all the wear and tear on his body, if the world title dream goes out the window tonight

    Doubt it, he could still make good money against plenty of other heavies.

    He has shipped some heavy punishment in his last few fights against Takam and Whyte. I think if he loses he should hang them up, no shame in losing to a top 6 contender. Long as he gives it a go like last time, he can retire with his head held high having achieved a lot more money than he probably thought he would when he first took up boxing in that Finchley gym.

    No way. If he wins it would be more of a start of his career. Might even become a world champion.

    I think his ambition to be world champion left him some time ago, basically after the 2nd Fury loss his weight shot up and he was going through the motions most of the time really only getting in shape again for Pulev.

    Now he's fighting for money more than anything else. He's gotten himself in shape for this fight, due to the response he got after the Takam win. People have come round on him and seen what a warrior he is, never scared to take tough fights and the support he got during the Takam fight with people chanting his name even when he was hurt, has motivated him again along with the beef he has with Whyte after the first fight.

    Even if he loses he can still make money and Hearn will likely give him more good fights on undercards because fans will pay to watch him fight in competitive fights. I doubt Chisora will retire while he can still make good money.

    Nah, there are still plenty of opportunities for him out there. Fight with Joyce, rematch with Takam, maybe another fight with Whyte if this one goes down to the wire again, fight with Parker, tons of big paying options out there for him. The toll on his long term health is another question, however.

    His health is definitely a concern he's been in some tough fights. He showed he was a bit more cagey vs Takam not just marching forward as much but his style will always see him shift a lot of punishment. Hopefully his career doesn't drag out, from what others have said he's invested his money well, so hopefully he can retire in some comfort after a few more years.

    He obviously prefer taking blows to head over his health and safety. No point making loads of money and not being able to spend it in good health, look at the sad case of Stevenson.

    OK, Chisora is making some great money from this fight, he looked done against Takam and during that fight i thought id like to see Chirora hang them up. All before the big KO ofcourse. Theres a big dangling carrot for DelBoy though, sort of, if he beats Whyte he may get a shot at Joshua and world titles, that dead dream is never that dead. But if he loses and its not controversial and theres no call for a rematch id like to see him retire, always liked DelBoy hes done well and hes done plenty and he doesnt sound so punchdrunk and hes got money and his life.

    But we will have to see how Chisroa 2.0 does tonight.

    With chisora mentality if he loses he prob will chuck it he has clearly trained at his best for sum time and if he were lose think mentally would break him and be very difficult to motivate him to train like this again for a c level opponent
