DAVID PRICE wants to defend his British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles against bad boy Dereck Chisora.
Del boy’s British fight licence was withdrawn after a wild press conference brawl with David Haye back in February but he is expected to reapply next month.
Price, 29, who risks his titles against Matt Skelton at Aintree Equestrian Centre on Friday, said: “Dereck is a fight that interests me for the simple reason that he is a good fighter.

If he got into fighting shape, he would be far more formidable. He could easily hold a world title for some time but asking him to get into legit, fighting shape is asking for a lot.
i like chisora but i don't think it matters what kind of shape he is in. he is too slow & doesn't have 1 punch knockout power. this puts him at a huge disadvantage rather he has a smaller opponent with good handspeed or if he is going to trade in the middle of the ring against a big puncher. chisora was able to stand his ground inside & he was able to push klitschko, fury & helenius around. both klitschko & helenius came out of the fights with injuries & he wobbled fury. so there is no question he can muck it up in a dirty fight & won't be pushed around but when he fought a guy like haye he was left looking silly as he got picked apart. fringe contender who will get a few title shots in his career. can he make the most of his next one if it comes?
great fight. If del boy turns up he is a pretty useful fighter. Thought on another day he'd beat fury tbh.
Am excited by Price but he needs to fight someone who somes forward and is a lot better than john mcdermott...
I would love to see this what a fight it would be.
Even though Price would be slight favourite but any lapse in concentration and Del boy would K.O him
Chisora is a good worker in the ring but not a puncher.

i think he beat helenius too but it depends on what you think a gatekeeper is. to me a gatekeeper is a B level contender who will beat all the journeymen, remain in the top 20 & could pull the odd upset on any given night but when he steps in with the top dogs he will get beat. chisora is not going to get any better. he is what he is. he will do much better vs bigger HWs because of his size & strength. he has a good chin, good stamina & is fearless. on the other hand he is too slow & he has a marginal skillset with average power. he often goes into his fights outgunned. he reminds me of francois botha at his best. meat & potatoes fighter who won't back down from anyone. being a gatekeeper gets you lots of fights & also can get you the odd title shot if there is a fight available because of an injury. chisora is a good heavyweight.

I think that's a little unfair since he beat Helenius, and then fought 2 of the 3 best in the division with mixed results. However, he's capable of beating a number of guys IMO like povetkin, Fury in a rematch, johnson, Adamek, Arreola and the likes of these guys. But he should take it slow and fight some bums before moving up.i think he beat helenius too but it depends on what you think a gatekeeper is. to me a gatekeeper is a B level contender who will beat all the journeymen, remain in the top 20 & could pull the odd upset on any given night but when he steps in with the top dogs he will get beat. chisora is not going to get any better. he is what he is. he will do much better vs bigger HWs because of his size & strength. he has a good chin, good stamina & is fearless. on the other hand he is too slow & he has a marginal skillset with average power. he often goes into his fights outgunned. he reminds me of francois botha at his best. meat & potatoes fighter who won't back down from anyone. being a gatekeeper gets you lots of fights & also can get you the odd title shot if there is a fight available because of an injury. chisora is a good heavyweight.
he does need some rebuilding but he has become the euro-gatekeeper of the division so i expect him to pretty much just fight contenders & fringe contenders from this point on. the monte barrett of europe. fight anyone, anywhere.

Yeah Chisora should avoid price for now, he needs to start from the bottom again and work his way up, put him in with a few bums first to get his confidence back, then go after the EU title
What I'm implying is that if he takes the fast buck, he'll likely get beat again, and that'll be three L's on the spin and totally **** him for the future.
Chis needs rebuilding, big time.

Chisora has four defeats (he should have had only two) during under a year, yet he's still a name among the top contenders. Chisora would be Price's toughest fight so far and a good test for him. Chisora would still be among the top contenders, even with another loss.
I agree with those who say Chisora needs to rebuild first, losses to Fury, Klitschkto and Haye (not counting the Helenius robbery) all in a fairly short time frame. Not a good run on which to fight somebody as dangerous and heavy handed as Price.
This is stupid...
I wanted Price to win his Lonsdale belt outright against someone like Chisora instead of Skelton, so I don't want to see him stall any more and fight someone like Chisora.
Chisora has retired for the time being anyway.
This fight with Skelton is a joke. You are right its stupid.

Chisora needs rebuilding, but he's a money whore and under the same Warren umbrella. This will probably happen
