See this is where Eddie Hearn really gets under my skin. We've seen him risk the lives of fighters before, Brook/Golovkin the first that springs to mind, for a few extra quid. Chisora is 37 with more miles on the clock than most active fighters. He's just been rocked to his boots several times by Parker - something we're not used to seeing happen Chisora. He was also recently heavily KO'd by Whyte. Everyone in boxing, including Chisora's fans, are calling for retirement or at worst an easy touch to go out with a win. But Eddie Hearn? Throw him in with the hardest hitting puncher in the division, for a few viewers on DAZN. Desperation and reckless behaviour if ever I've seen it.
At best Chisira would leave the ring on a stretcher. Embarassing from Hearn. I have said for years the worst fight for Chisora would be Wilder as he would be badly hurt. Let alone a Chisora who is turning 38 and has racked up more miles than a car of Arthur Daly's car lot.
After the beatings Fury gave him, there's a good argument for Wilder to retire or at least face a soft touch too. But Chisora would probably end up that body on his record that Wilder has been so desperate to get.
Chisora obviously has some inside info on the Hearns, hence the PPV arrangement...... Hearn obviously wants him dead now lol
If Chisora's family don't step in and stop this madness, then I really fear for him as Hearn is not going to stop wheeling him out for beatings. Eddie would absolutely love to make Derek a sacrifial lamb for Wilder now or further down the line the Romford Bull etc
Oh yeah I can 100% see a Johnny Fisher fight within the next 18 months if Chisora doesn’t retire. He’s Hearn’s next project.
Chisora could knock Wilder out. Would like to see this tbh. Wilder is also 37 for those quoting ages. I often get the impression that Eddie is scared of him (del) he is always saying what a great guy he is with a nervous smile when we all know it's not true.
Hearn says if it goes beyond 4 it’s Dels fight. I watched the Parker fight and after a round and a half Del was being put to sleep if something hard landed flush. Has to retire
Weird statement.maybe it was just an off the cuff remark or was he asked about it specifically?..pie in the sky fight anyway it'll never happen.
Just in case you'd forgotten that boxing promoters really are the most cold hearted, greedy sleazebags in all of sport, Eddie is just reminding you.
Hearn knows Wilder wont ever fight AJ or even any matchroom fighter so just gonna rag on him moving forwards I mean, sometimes its justified but this time he is taking the mick
