By Mark Hepplestall: Firstly I would like to point out I am a Wladimir Klitschko Fan and I am a Derek Chisora fan and for that very reason I can see exactly why these two vastly different boxers are not ready to fight each other. Wladimir is without doubt the best boxer in the Heavyweight Division while Derek Chisora is not even at European level yet.
Klitschko vs. Chisora
How can people defend Wladimir now?
By Mark Hepplestall: This is the first time I have wrote a negative article about any boxing match it’s just that this fight cannot be sugar-coated anymore; Derek “Del-Boy” Chisora has got a fight against the number 1 rated heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. This is the biggest mismatch in the heavyweight division since; well ever really it’s even worse the Haye vs. Harrison.
The View From UK Corner: Only Fools and Chisora’s
By Sean Pollock: Dereck Chisora (14-0) has had a remarkable year. He has gone from relatively unknown heavyweight to a recognized prospect after wins over Danny Williams and Sam Sexton. He won the British heavyweight title in May and then the Commonwealth title in September- both inside the distance. The unbeaten fighter now finds himself in a ‘Rocky-esque’ situation having signed up to fight the number one heavyweight in the world, Wladimir Klitschko (55-3); with view to fighting his brother Vitali Klitschko if he triumphs.
Chisora has to face both Klitschkos if he beats Wladimir, says Warren
By Dan Ambrose: Promoter Frank Warren says the contract for Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) vs. IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) says that Chisora has to face Vitali Klitschko next if Chisora beats Wladimir. Warren says “It’s in the contract that if he beats Wladimir, then he has to face Vitali next, but he’s got a big job ahead of him first.” You can say that again. Chisora has an almost impossible task ahead of him in trying to beat Wladimir unless Chisora improves a lot in the next two months. He faces Wladimir on December 11th at the SAP-Arena, Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, and that’s not a lot of time for Chisora to work on the many flaws in his game.

Klitschko-Chisora: Will Wladimir need his A game to beat Chisora?
By Sean McDaniel: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) may have more problems with his next opponent Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) than a lot of people when they will likely meet up on December 11th in Germany. The fight still is in the negotiation period but it’s looking like Chisora will be next for Wladimir. Chisora has the ability to put a lot of pressure on Klitschko and he could end up wearing him down much in the same way that Lamon Brewster and Ross Purity did in the past by making him expend a lot of energy.
Wladimir Klitschko interested in fighting Adamek in 2011
By Dan Ambrose: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) will likely be facing Britain’s Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) on December 11th in Germany. Chisora is likely to be easily beaten by Klitschko without too many problems. Wladimir would like to fight WBA heavyweight champion David Haye. However, the British heavyweight appears to be in the milking stage with his title and hasn’t shown a whole lot of interest in taking on Wladimir or his brother Vitali Klitschko. Without a lot of interesting heavyweight contenders for Wladimir to fight, he is intrigued with fighting his number #1 ranked WBO challenger Tomasz Adamek (42-1, 27 KO’s) in 2011, that is, if Adamek is willing to fight Wladimir.

Is Wladimir Klitschko fighting Chisora to position himself with the British public before facing Haye?
By Scott Gilfoid: For many boxing fans, they have no clue why IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) would want to waste his sweet time with a short, slightly overweight, inexperienced fighter like Britain’s Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s). Klitschko, 34, is looking to fight the 26-year-old Chisora.
