By Tom Graves: It has been reported that 26 year old London Heavyweight Derek ‘Del Boy’ Chisora has been named in plans for Wladimir Klitschko’s next bout as a possible opponent. Around a fortnight ago Klitschko beat Samuel Peter by TKO in round 10 to retain the IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles and is now looking for a next opponent for the date of December the 11th. Chisora’s name has been brought up due to his recent win over Sam Sexton, which earned him the Commonwealth title. Chisora also owns the British title and is a huge young star within British boxing.
Klitschko-Chisora
Wladimir Klitschko’s team impressed with Chisora, want him for December 11th bout
By Sean McDaniel: The management team for IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) were reportedly greatly impressed with the performance by Britain’s Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) in his 9th round TKO win over Sam Sexton in the Magnificent Seven card on September 18th. There was something in the 6’1” Chisora’s performance that made Klitschko and his team take interest and want him for the December 11th fight.
Is Wladimir joking about Chisora?
By Mark Hepplestall: Firstly I am a big fan of Wladimir Klitschko yet I cannot understand his choice in opponents over the last few years. The latest rumors include the Derek Chisora who is the British and Commonwealth champion, beating Danny Williams for the British title; Williams had a losing of 3 losses out of his last 6 and one very suspect point’s victory against John McDermott. Chisora then beat Sam Sexton who he had beat before by TKO in the 6th. Sexton’s best wins were against taxi driver Martin Rogan and one of those were very controversial.
Wladimir Klitschko makes offer to fight Chisora
By Jim Dower: In a Rocky movie type of situation, unbeaten British heavyweight Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) has been given a once in a lifetime shot against IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) for a bout on December 11th. Klitschko’s adviser Shelly Finkel reportedly contacted Chisora’s promoter Frank Warren on Thursday about a fight between Klitschko and Chisora. Warren now will have to decide whether the risk to Chisora is too great for the big payday that he would likely receive. It would be good money, but Wladimir could really wreck Chisora if the fight goes on too long.
Chisora may be Wladimir Klitschko’s next victim
By William Mackay: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is really hurting for opponents to fight right now. Indeed, Wladimir is so much in need of an opponent to fight that it looks like he’s going to raid the UK to snatch up what could be their third best heavyweight in 26-year-old Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s).
Chisora could be next for Wladimir Klitschko
By Scott Gilfoid: British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) has reportedly been approached for a fight against IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s), according to boxing news from the Dailymail.co.uk. Klitschko, 34, had been attempting to land a fight against former cruiserweight champion Jean Marc Mormeck, but that fight couldn’t take place because Mormeck wanted too much money. Now, it looks as if Wladimir and his team have set their sights on 26-year-old Chisora.
