    Does Chisora need to retire?

    He’s 38 in a week or so and he’s taken a lot of punishment man.

    I didn’t like what I saw yesterday, I think people need to intervene. I guess we’ll see how much the likes of Hearn and Coldwell really care.

    If they just keep wheeling Del Boy out he’s gonna get badly hurt IMO.

    That would be better, yes. But I doubt it will happen, unfortunately. He rocked Parker a couple of times, so there's surely some fight waiting for him in the future.

      I personally think so

      he can’t really compete with top fighters, He’s always fallen short in that regard.

      To start winning well, he would need to move down to domestic level, Which would end up being for significantly less money, Plus he is approaching 40 and it will get to the point very soon where he would be taking beatings at that level too which would be sad to see.

      But he is so tough that he comes out of fights last night with credit simply based on his toughness, and that will put him in a position to be a gatekeeper at a high level for now. So they will keep wheeling him out to take beatings based on the fact he’s game, which isn’t good really. He’s definitely going to get knocked out really badly again soon, you can see it a mile off. Last night will have took a lot out of him at 37.

      I’d imagine he has accumulated enough money to secure his future by now, so his health should be considered.

        I love watching his fights but for his own sake, YES!

        Look at Danny Williams, remember Greg Page...

          Chisora vs Babic. If he wins that then Chisora vs Wardley. Then maybe a couple of exhibitions. Be good to see Chisora destroy Mike Tyson, then end his own career with a competitive loss to the Undertaker or Kurt Angle. Nash out.

            I literally thought of Danny Williams watching that yesterday. The way Chisora was just waking to the corner with his hands down after being hurt was very concerning IMO.

              Well, Chisora is almost 40 yrs old. That is old for a boxer. Ultimately, it's up to him.

                He should retire. He's 0-12 at the world level and he gets hit A LOT.

                  For his sake yes, but as a selfish fan I would love to see him continue.

                  I fear if he does continue like this till he is 42, he may end up with CTE, may even have it already

                    He should retire. He's pretty much a punching bag against any decent fighter at this point
