Disappointing headliner on Saturday. Chisora looked disinterested, like his heart isn't in boxing anymore. Sure, Fury could have stopped him, but why bother? Rounds are always good, and he was able to practice a few things in the ring (switching etc.). Hopefully he'll be matched against someone his own height soon. Fighting cruiserweights and small HWs is hardly adequate preparation for Wladimir.Comment

Of course Wlad is. He surpassed Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali a long time ago. The only question is whether Wlad is better than Lennox Lewis. But since Lennox had only 40+ heavyweight fights (and this is just one statistic Wlad is better in than Lennox), it should be sufficiently clear that Wlad is the best heavyweight who ever lived.Comment

Cunningham-Glazkov IBF eliminator possible on March 14 on the Pascal-Kovalev card
One of the televised undercard bouts in the works is a heavyweight eliminator between Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov (19-0-1, 12 KOs), 30, a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist from Ukraine, and Philadelphia's Steve Cunningham, 38, a former two-time cruiserweight titleholder. The winner will become one of champion Wladimir Klitschko's mandatory challengers. Duva said she is talking to HBO about a deal to put on the fight.
In Glazkov's last fight, he pummeled Darnell "Ding-A-Ling Man" Wilson in a seventh-round knockout on the Kovalev-Hopkins undercard.
Cunningham, coming off a seventh-round knockout of previously undefeated Natu Visinia on Oct. 18, has won three fights in a row since a seventh-round knockout loss to top contender Tyson Fury, whom Cunningham knocked down.
"Both have agreed to take the fight, so we're making the fight," Duva said. "We promote both fighters and we've spoken to both of them, so we're doing our best to get the most money we can. It'll be a terrific fight. HBO also may buy a third fight to make it a tripleheader."Comment
