    This is why I don't count Whyte out just yet if there is still big fights for Dereck Chisora when he has almost double digit losses there will still be fights for Dillian Whyte neither will ever be world champion after they are done losing to all the best at HW they can always fight each other in a trilogy it should be 1-1 I mean Chisora got knocked out like Whyte just did and Whyte is getting an immediate rematch so anything is possible.

      Eh, no love for this fight. Usyk should be fighting a slightly better guy. Del is maybe one step up from Chazz. Maybe Usyk isn't as confident as I suspect or the Matchroom roster &/or budget = Del Boy this time idk.

      Hopefully next time Usyk steps up a lil more.

        Brah Chisora is 30 steps above Chazz Witherspoon.

          Oilskin Parker is a step up though maybe a step too far...

          If Usyk can't beat a former world champ then maybe he shouldn't get a shot at the current one.

          As for Chisora ducking Parker. All I gotta say is quack quack quack...

            A good Halloween fight , Frank Warren missed that opportunity to market the Joyce vs DDD fight on that day between two monsters going head to head .

            Last time I remember a big fight on Halloween between two hw punchers was Lewis vs Ruddock which ended fast and devastating for Ruddock I think the Crypt Keeper introduced the HBO entrance to it .

              Chisora is an old 36... lots of mileage. So not that good of a test for Usyk, who is wayyyyy fresher, although not that much younger.

                Usyk has clocked up a few miles as a cruiser and has a history of injuries to boot...

                A step up to a seasoned heavy like del boy and a mando slot is a test in itself.

                I don't think he'll pass eh!

                    Usyk has never been knockdowned or KOd. He is a mean, lean fighting machine. Light on his tows, and always in shape.

                    Donut boy, on the other hand.. well...

                    But hey, it's your money! Go ahead and bet on Chisora if you please.
