They are quite well matched and both don't like each other and will come to bang. If Frampton v Warrington wasn't so close IMO I'd be all over White Chisora II.

If anyone didn't see the full Fury v Wilder fight, it's on BT Sport's YouTube btw...

Fair enough fellas didnt realise they'd had previous. As said not a massive boxing fan. I saw aj vs whyte dec 2015 iirc, and i never felt aj was in any real peril, so wasnt sure why they were all over the media with a similar pre-match hype to aj vs parker etc

Not a massive boxing fan but some of the top fights in recent yrs have piqued my interest.

Honestly, why is there so much hype on whyte chisora? Genuine question. It's not remotely a top fight. Is it the presence of Haye? Because they both look the same, sound the same, the trash talk is tragic, completely nondescript both of them. If people pay 20 notes for this I'll be amazed.

Last time they fought it got fight of the year.

They will have a good brawl.

Whyte hurt AJ early doors in that fight, buzzed him pretty well.

I'm expecting a real slug fest. Neither of them are delicate and they can both take a whack, this could be a brutal fight but it won't be pretty. In any sense of the word.

I think Dillian White has grown up a bit so to speak.. He's the better boxer so Its up to him if he really wants to get drawn into a war.. In chisora's case I've never seen him So ripped and has a granite chin.its took him. A long time to be really accepted at the top table and again he's Definatley got serious about his career and ability over the last couple of years
. I'd make the case that if both these can control there aggression and dislike of each other this fight could be even better than the first.
Tough call...

I think Whyte is the boxer and both are really solid.

Whyte showed a huge amount of naivety in the last round against Parker when he went for it rather than just seeing the fight out.

Think it will go to points again.

Chisora is essentially looking for a last payday while Whyte is hoping to get into the world title picture.

Wouldn’t be surprised at a draw though I think expect Whyte to win.

Think your doing chisora a slight disservice.. Win or lose there's some good 'big' fights out there for him in what is now a really exciting division again.

I agree Chisora is decent.

But he will struggle to get a fight against Joshua, Fury or Wilder.

He is also getting on a bit.

Whyte has only lost once so can still claim to be a challenge for anyone.

Tommy Fury on early doors for his debut, just bought Frampton v Warrington there.

Warrington/Frampton sounded like an absolute ding dong, I'm relegated to the radio for tonight, but I'm definitely going to have to watch the highlights of that

Good night's boxing there! Warrington Frampton was a belter, Warrington deserved it and worked so hard that I'd almost be suspicious about juicing, his engine was crazy and he came out flying and rocked Frampton early.

Caught most fights there, I though Whyte had actually killed Chisora for a second there!

Great fight again Derek unlucky but sweet counter left hook from whyte. Would like to see Whyte vs Ortiz or Miller now before he faces wilder or Joshua.
