Yeah I’m not impressed by this manoeuvre. I don’t care how good a scrap the first fight was . Beating Chisora means nothing . Chisora has been beaten at least once a year for the last 7 years.
At least go out and make a statement. Ortiz although old is still revered and ranked highly as a top 5 fighter in the World. If you beat Ortiz I don’t think anyone can begrudge you a shot at Joshua
As for Hearn how can you assume Ortiz is not serious. Have you at least enquired? You want to single handedly destroy the images of your fighters. Let Whyte silence the Americans and if he loses there is no shame in that.
Must be a UK thing. I’ve been told, and I believe it, that Whyte/ Chisora would outsell Whyte / Ortiz but I don’t get why. I could be wrong but I’m thinking most of the rest of the boxing fan world would rather see Ortiz get the fight.
