First off, the first fight was very entertaining and there's no doubt this one will be too. This is an entertainment business after all and if a fight can be easily made that will gurantee the fans entertainment, why not make it? We're served up enough borefests every year. Secondly, although Fury won the first fight significantly, there's no guarantees he'll do the same here. Chisora was overweight in the first fight and has since taken his career a lot more seriously, put in some very good performances and got some good wins. He is very much improved, as is Fury though, so the outcome of the fight is actually not easy to predict. Another valid reason for a fight to be made. Lastly, it's two guys in the top ten squaring off, two of the best contenders out there going head to head, how the **** can that not make sense? The fight is a significant fight with the winner deserved of a crack the wbc belt IMO, or at least the winner should then go into an eliminator against another top 10 fighter. Honestly, I cant understand why people are playing this rematch down? I'm very much looking forward to it.
it's a fight between 2 proven contenders, something the Heavyweight division can't give to the boxing world, unless it's pure unproven hype between 2 unproven chumps. this makes perfect sense.
People are saying it is pointless because it would be Fury going over old ground even though Chisora is improving more and more and putting in more hard work with a better attitude.
Hardly pointless. Both have improved since the first fight and it would a good domestic heavyweight fight. Chisora has actually proven more since, having fought for a title and fought 2 other top contenders in Haye and Helenius. He's shown he can operate at world level and be competitive even when losing. Fury is still undefeated but has really only had one decent win against Johnson since beating Chisora. We still don't know if Fury can compete with a genuine top 10 heavy so sticking him in with Chisora who is a proven quantity at world level would be a good step up and a good measure of his actual ability, to see if he is ready to face a genuine top contender. It's a fight fans would want to watch and both fighters believe they could win.
I can see that point but I'd disagree. Their first fight was between two prospects and this time it would be between two top 10(or close to it) contenders. The winner of the fight would be in solid position to land a fight with Wlad, or atleast be put into an eliminator. Not too mention it should be a fun fight which is always a good thing.
