    Let's go...contender? Briggs called out Chisora during an interview with MJP last night ahead of Saturday night's DAZN card (Briggs is the chief sparring partner for Logan Paul).

    It has been 3½ years since Briggs - who turns 48 next month - competed in the ring, although he is yet to retire once and for all officially and has been in constant training (and unerringly, despite largely being ignored, calling out top heavyweights on social media). He is ostensibly on a 9-0 streak with eight kayos since his last defeat, to Vitali Klitschko in 2010, but has only been active during a single two-year stretch in the meantime from 2014-2016.

    Chisora - who also celebrates a birthday next month (his 36th) - is coming off two consecutive stoppage victories that alone trump all of Briggs' in the last decade: Price & Szpilka. His last truly important bout was his rematch with Dillian Whyte last December, which he lost via eleventh round KO. He is a dozen years Briggs' junior, the fresher and far more consistently working fighter, but stands 2½" shorter with half a foot's disadvantage in reach.

    Their one mutual opponent, Vitali Klitschko, widely outpointed them both: shutting out Briggs in 2010 (and battering him into four years' worth of semi-retirement) and executing nearly as lopsided a UD12 against Chisora in 2012.

    This would be a very slow but very fun slug-fest. :ggg

    Dereck Chisora is not getting any younger is he.

    Both got decent chins, this fight would be exciting for the first few rounds until they both slow down and start realising no matter how many times they bomb each other's chins, no-one's getting knocked out. Chisora's much fresher, younger and would handily outwork and outpoint Briggs 9-3.

    Even though I rate both his power & chin as lesser than Briggs, yeah, it'd be hard to pick against Chisora here. :thumbsup:

    Would be down to stamina, which bodes poorly for the asthmatic pushing fifty.

    This fight will be so much fun, PLEASE make it happen. Good money for both too as this will surely sell.

    Chisora by UD.

    Briggs is retired
    It's interesting but their ages is the key. Prime I'd pick Briggs, that night against Lennox Lewis showed champion grit. Chisora is a quitter sometimes

    If going on Briggs last performance, chisora by UD but considering that Briggs will have aged another 3-4 years since then with no real activity and the fact that Chisora's fitness has really looked good recently I would actually go with Chisora by stoppage in a fight that's less competitive than people think.

    Briggs was shot 10 years go.

    Nope, he never did. And he is actively calling for a fight with anybody that'll oblige him since March.

    Yeah, Briggs has a grade A chin. The punishment he took from Vitali was insane.

    Lol! His calling out of Wlad was hilarious, especially the one in the restaurant when Wlad was eating breakfast.
    I am slightly embarrassed about it, but who cares, I do want to see Briggs vs Chisora. I doubt Dereck would go for it though as he's on the verge of getting a bigger fight.

    ...and, if nothing else, he did always have legit one punch KO power (at least up to a certain level - probably not enough to single-hit Chisora, but pretty much anybody below his tier).

    Fight wouldn't be competitive. Briggs has been shot for close on a decade now, probably longer.

    Briggs Browne would be a better matchup, and even then I'd probably pick Browne.

    Id back Chisora to beat any version of Briggs. Nevermind now. All Briggs ever had was power. If he doesn't finish Chisora in the first half he's getting grinded down and outpointed.
