    I like the Dimi fight for him. If he can beat Dimi then we can evaluate him better.

      It would be good to be able to compare his perfomance against Dimitrenko with Chambers.

        Oh yeah would definitely like to watch him again too, He has only 13 fights from what I know so it's a bit early to be talking about him and the big boys at HW but he looks good from all the other novice that I have seen with 15 fights and under.

          He seems well-rounded to me. He's not overly flashy, but he appears to have some skills, a good chin, decent handspeed, explosiveness, some power.

          I see he's moved up to BoxRec #13 heavyweight, and I'm sure he'll be ranked by one or more sanctioning organizations when they update their rankins.

          Who should he fight next? I'd like to see him in a European title fight with Dimitrenko.
          Chisora is a great fighter but they need to move him up slowly.It's too early for Warren to pair him with Haye.He should beat some European opposition then the likes of Rahman and the Tua's of this world before they can mention Haye

            People forget that Del Boy is fairly new to boxing, didn't start until he was 18/19 and is 26 now.

            He's not ready for Haye or world level yet. He needs at least another 10 fights in order to improve. Can he improve? I think so.

            His upper body movement was excellent. He stamina was very good. There's a lot of heavyweights that alone would take him past. He easily has the number of the likes of Eddie Chambers and would be competitive against a Chagaev or Arreola.

            With some refinement and strength/power building, given the good upper body movement and combination punching, Chisora could potentially trouble Wladimir Klitschko with his rather weak chin.

                I'm looking forward to his next fight, which I expect will be on Dec 11.

                Frank Warren is a good promoter as far as keeping fighters active is concerned, unlike Peter Kohl and Don King.
