    Hi all,

    Really looking forward to these fights but have a few questions i was wondering if people had any idea on the answers to:

    1) What time do the boxers usually get to Wembley Arena before the fight? Looking at possible going up early to meet some.

    2) Has a date been released for Dereck Chisora to get a license back by?

    Thought this thread could also be used if others have any questions in the run up to the night.

    If you want to meet the boxers your best bet would be to go to the weigh in the day before. Its normally open to the public.

    Last time I went to Wembley Arena was the Burns/Katsidis card and I hung around after near ringside and met David Haye. So just a heads up if you want to meet some boxers, hanging around after can be worthwhile as well.

    Only person I met before the fight was Richard Keys...:-( (told him to smash it)

    Chisora should get his licence back "imminently" I've heard. He will likely be fighting an American opponent.

    ah thats alright, although not my favourite boxer, he is an entertainer so will be good to see him back in action.

    is the weigh in likely to be in wembley arena or somewhere else?

    From whenever i've been to a gig at wembley stadium, there had always been plenty of public transport often until gone midnight. i'd imagine this fight will finish around 11.30 but wont know for sure until nearer the date.

    There is the underground which goes from wembley stations to all over london and the buses transport wise

    So, under a month now until fight night, does anyone have any other news about opponents for the undercard?

    Has Chisora got an opponent yet? Is he even still on the bill? Not heard anything regarding him for a while.
