Should be easy fights for the Brits. Hammer is a very poor fighter, little power and given his size and reach disadvantage cant see him lasting long in there unless Fury wants the rounds.
Chudinov is odd. Hes ranked number 1 by the WBA but cant for the life of me see why. Pro for nearly 5 years with only 16 fights. Great opportunity for Eubank but if he blows it thats him finished.
He's the interim WBA champ tooQuote:

Jr can't throw those wild uppercuts from too far out like he did against BJS. As limited as Chudinov is, he can punch.
Seems like a determined pick for Eubanks opponent. Don't want to lose face by going down a level. Chudinov is ranked higher by boxrec than saunders is.
A fight with Gary OSullivan would have sold just as well maybe more what with the talking between the two in the build up.
Fair play to Warren. 2 decent match ups. We know Fury won't look for an easy option, but it's good that now Eubank has moved up a notch, he's prepared to stay there and not go back to "bum of the month" campaigning. We should learn a bit about both fighters.
Eubank needs to win that big. The Fury fight is probably just a stay busy fight, as it is early in the year- somewhat.Quote:

The last Chisora fight was abysmal. We knew it would stink.
Credit to both fighters for staying busy and active.
Where's the confirmation on the Eubank fight I've not seen it yet
I think you will find as will most others that Chisora was just Chisora. Tyson was just focussed for once. Hammer will do no better. Hammer will be an easier fight.Quote:

Chisora would still be competitive with fighters like Haye or Stiverne. He just hasn't got the skills to deal with Tysons jab and movement.
