By Sean McDaniel: Frank Warren, the promoter for British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s), thinks he may be able to win it. In his column at thesun.co.uk, Warren says “Sometimes you must be hold and roll the dice and take a calculated risk. That is the position Britsh heavyweight champ Derek Chisora faces, as he has been offered a fight with Wladimir Klitschko…Not only does Chisora really want a chance, I’m starting to think he can win it.” I’m in agreement with Warren. At first, I didn’t think Chisora could beat Wladimir, but now that I’ve seen Chisora’s last three fights, I think he has an excellent chance of beating the weak-chinned Klitschko.

Chisora has the power, the work rate and the style to beat Wladimir. The big 6’6″ Ukrainian doesn’t react well when a lot of pressure is put him, and that’s one thing that Chisora is good at – pressuring his opponents. He’s going to put Wladimir through sheer hell in trying to take him out. Wladimir is going to be facing a much difference fighter compared to the ones that he’s been facing during his career. Chisora is nothing like any of Wladimir’s previous opponents, because none of them have had the high work rate and excellent power that Chisora has going for him.

Warren says that the money “is not amazing” but that Chisora wants the fight badly enough to show the boxing world what he’s got. Warren points out that Chisora is a “Mobile heavyweight” who moves well and that’s something that Wladimir has had problems with in his career. If Chisora can stay low, avoid getting hit too often, and land his big shots, he could take Wladimir out rather quickly.
