Wladimir Klitschko has back-up plan in case Chisora is incarcerated
October 31st, 2010
By Jason Kim: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) has a back-up plan in case his scheduled December 11th opponent unbeaten Dereck Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) is unable to make the fight due to him being in jail for an assault charge.
Chisora, 26, will be sentenced on November 10th for an assault. At that time, Chisora will learn whether he’ll have to do any time or not. There’s a possibility that Chisora can do as much as six months in jail for the assault charge. If so, this would possibly interfere with his December 11th fight with Wladimir.
This is a once in a lifetime shot for Chisora, because he still hasn’t even proven that he’s the best fighter on the local scene in the UK. If it weren’t for Wladimir showing interest in fighting Chisora, he would likely have had to beat the top fighters in the UK, and then at the European level and finally one or two top fighters on the world level. Only then would Chisora get a shot against one of the champions.
However, Wladimir has saved Chisora a lot of trouble by picking him out at this early point in his career and saving him from having to prove that he’s worth fighting. Chisora’s best wins have come against Danny Williams and Sam Sexton, and neither of them are even close to being in the same class as Wladimir.
If Chisora misses this opportunity due to his assault charge, it will be a huge missed opportunity for him, because even if he gets blown out by Wladimir, he’d still earn a lot of attention from fans in this fight.

Odlanier Solis has been calling the Klitschkos and not answerd yet I dont thinks Chisola was better oponent that Solis I think the Klitschkos are ducking him
Oh well Chisora you can save yourself being assualted by serving time for an assault. I dont expect him to win this fight at all.
scouser chagaev would wipe the floor with chisora aswell but i know wer u r coming from and agree he should have stayed here for a while longer then went to euro level…y do i keep hearing this name travis kaufman do use know him or something and r plugging him hes another guy who isnt good enough ffs…at least if he fought dimitrenko it would be a more competitve fight than wlad chisora
Strange era we live in. None of the contenders want to fight the best of of the division for the championship, and by that I don’t mean Haye.
I seen all of Del boy’s fights over the last few years. I think he is definitley the best of all British heavyweight prospects around at the moment. Having said that, this fight is way too early in his career for him Klitschko is complete different league to anything Del boy will of faced before. He should had a few more fights at domestic and european level before trying to fight such an expereniced and talented fighter. I would like see him fight Tyson Fury, Albert Sosnowski and maybe someone like Chagaev before getting a shot at one of the Champions like Klitschko.
lots of fighters will want the pay day, so I doubt he’ll have much trouble getting another opponent. Dont know much about the Chisora legal case, but if it’s his first offence, or wasnt much of a kicking he gave someone, he’ll just get a smack on the wrists and a record – the fact he has a fight with the HW champ of the world will go in his favour, cos it makes him look semi-famous! lol
Wladimir’s camp was briefed about the situation and the What Ifs. This fight was picked for the very fact that Chisora had a pending aleghetion against him. KLITSCHKO: Only a short time to train since his last fight, With a possible jail sentence on Derek Chisora how in the heck could he train with peace of mind, He wants to make friends in England, Maybe inadvertantly he should get publicity for fighting a bad boy. (He could have fought Travis Kauffman on that account) Just in case Chisora goes to jail and the Klitscko people have known the verdict for sometime. He’ll fight Dimitrenko!
hell not get put away the fight will be on calm yourselves down
Have the fight in Prison ??? Ha Ha !
Noone is getting agree to fight wladimir because he is loaded with power and talent. His coach made him so dominant that every fighter is running from him.
