Stadium shows and ‘Rumble in the Jungle II’: Dereck Chisora plots ultimate redemption in 2014 | The Pugilist - Yahoo Eurosport UK
Okay, I know at first look the idea of Chisora v Klitschko again may not be a particularly appetizing match up. Nonetheless, Chisora did pick up a few rounds against Vitali, and Klitschko has often been said to be ever so slightly chinnier than Vitali. First off Chisora needs to get through Rudenko next month, and possibly past Tyson Fury too, who beat him in their last meeting. That is two big if's right there, however, it is the 40th anniversary angle on the rumble in the jungle that is really interesting.
While the matchup isn't great, I still think taking two heavyweights out of their comfort zone into the sticky heat of an African jungle city still has that magical aspect that will bring people in. I never buy PPV's, frankly, I rarely think a fight is worth paying above what I already pay for my sports channels. However, Wlad v Chisora in a jungle city in Africa, I'll shell out good money for that. I think Wlad would still win, but the heat, humidity and unusual circumstances should be enough of a wildcard to make it interesting. As an idea, this one definitely has legs.
