    Bit of a surprise it's getting interest in the US but then again it's almost guaranteed to be a war again so bound to draw in some viewers who know what to expect from this fight.

    I thought this was on DAZN? Oh well I'll watch it on whatever.

    I hope they both earn well out of it.
    They have both been fantastic for British HW boxing.

    It's a fight that I didn't want to happen as I think both could get big fights rather than fighting each other which I don't think will give the other as much acclaim.
    Also Derek has had a very tough career and been thrown in deep over and over which I think can drain a fighter.
    Whyte has also had a tough start for a fighter who has yet to have a world title fight.

    WTF?
    As a DAZN subscriber I'm not happy.

    Whyte is 7/4 to get the stoppage, taking into account the punishment Chisora has shipped and the improvement Whyte has shown I can see it happening.

    Makes sense.

    If Fast Eddie wants to get Joshua in a boxing ring with Wilder or Fury, he's going to have to do business with Showtime.

    Don't be surprised if Joshua's next fight appears on Showtime as well.

    Whyte v Chisora is an excellent fight. Their last start wins were among the best of any h/w's this year.

    Chisora a live underdog. He might finish what Parker started.

    AJ has an exclusive deal with DAZN in America.

    If Joshua wants to fight Wilder, Showtime will need to be involved.

    Who do you think is bankrolling Wilder v Fury?

    Hearn has mentioned this before. Showtime can show the fight as long as they are prepared to pay more than what DAZN guarantees.

    Showtime will be showing the fight alright.

    They're not spending all this money on Wilder & Fury just to be cut out of a subsequent Joshua fight.

    Not convinced that will be the case. Certainly not on the back of 300k PPV buys as that doesn't pay what DAZN pays.

    Why?
    There are no contractual obligations to SHO.
