    There are only few choises left since The Fixmaker will avoid him like the plague. By the way I have no doubts that Chisora is much better than Harrison. He is not an elderly to start with. If you are under 39 The Fixmaker would not even consider putting you on her list.

    It's not as ridiculous as Haye beating a bum Harrison.

    He's looking for a stay busy fight, in fairly short notice from his last one, you need someone who isn't going to string out negotiations for months that means either someone old and completely worthless who's looking to cash out or young and willing to give up every advantage for a title shot. Chisora has about a 1% chance of winning but the alternatives are pretty thin on the ground so here we are.

    Because Wlad likes the back of his ears nibbled and Hayden can't reach.

    Right. Because I'm sure you've seen lots of Chisora....are his fights show on primetime Bulgarian TV?

    And? Isn't Chisora the current european champion? Isn't Chisora undefeated? Isn't Chisora rated as the 2nd best uk heavyweight fighter behind Haye? Has Chisora beat the level of opponents that ko Harrison? lol.

    Chisora hasnt fought 1 top challenger in the heavyweight division,not on the level needed to be experienced and prepared for either klitschko

    Nobody knows who he is in britian so how is wlad going to get noticed from this?,he really does need to talk about Haye to profile himself and this fight.

    im not sure this fight is on sky,if it is most people will turn it off after about 4 rounds out of boredem and no chance of wlad having the balls to KO chisora and would carry on with a boring jab followed by big right combo again and again till chisora falls asleep after everyone in the arena does of boredom.

    No. Alexander Dimitrenko is the current European Champion

    Yes. Mainly because he hasnt faced single top 30 opponent in his career.
    Nope.

    Nope, not really

    Chisora is a 14 fight rookie who has beaten nobody of note and has won no significant belts.

    Audley was 30 odd fight pro with an Olympic Gold Medal and the the EU belt.

    Look, I think both fights were/are utter shite. But people saying that Audley was a bum but Chisora is a legit challenge, a serious opponent, are absolutely DELUDED and clearly making excuses for Wlad. :lol:

    Tua would've been my favorite but if I remember right K2 offered the fight for him too but he declined because of his unfinished tv-deal or the money wasn't good enough.

    Who else is there to fight?

    1 Wladimir Klitschko
    2 Vitali Klitschko (not going to fight his own brother)
    3 David Haye (wouldn't take the fight)
    4 Tomasz Adamek (wouldn't take the fight)
    5 Ruslan Chagaev (already lost to Wladimir)
    6 Alexander Povetkin (wouldn't take the fight)
    7 Nikolay Valuev (injured - probably wouldn't take the fight anyway)
    8 Tony Thompson (already lost to Wladimir)
    9 Eddie Chambers (already lost to Wladimir)
    10 Samuel Peter (lost twice to Wlad)
    11 Chris Arreola (not deserving, already lost to Vitali and Adamek)
    12 Alexander Dimitrenko (Lost to Chambers, who lost Big to Wlad, not much appeal here)
    13 Dereck Chisora (accepted fight)
