I'll let you into a little secret - the injury was bollox :)

Maybe so , but he is out for 6 months :confused: apparently.
Lets all hope chisora keeps his chin down and gets that lucky shot...if he does haye will come out to fight him and beat him and then retire again.
Mate, he was the next big thing in hw boxing, was due to make millions, fought chisora, a guy who had just been battered by tyson fury, was fighting in his home town, after just beating 4 x world champions
Chisora was a name due to his links with the klit, it looked like a no lose situation, helenius was gonna win and look good doing it
Instead, he lost convincingly, chisora had an argment for a 12 nil domination
Is he gonna come out after the fight and say he was physically sound? Without "the injury" what would be the general opinion of helenius now? He had no choice but to be injured
So the six month layoff is forced on him to keep up the story and give him a chance to maybe get back on track ;)
Maybe maybe not but roberto duran said that chisora only looked good against helenius because helenius was injured, so i felt i needed to address that issue :)
I was never sold on Helenius being all that big of a threat either....too robotic and slow. Sure he has power, but he's so limited...it was only a matter of time before someone gave him trouble. I am happy that it was Chisora as before that Wlad was catching hell for having signed to fight him....wouldn't have really made a difference either way. Wlad would ALWAYS beat Chisora, he'd always catch hell for having fought him/agreed to fight him, and after that Chisora would be labled a "bum" (rightfully or wrongfully deserved)....it's just the way of the world.
People say Buster Douglas had no chance and beat Tyson but the big difference here is that Buster could throw crisp, straight shots.
I would barely give Chisora a chance if he could straighten his shots to make them more powerful once he is on the inside to maybe keep Vitali honest (although Lennox couldn't keep Vitali off even with that hellacious uppercut).
Also there wasn't that huge size disparity between Tyson and Douglas..
I can't see Chisora doing it even though I hope he does..the great thing about boxing is that we've all had to eat humble pie about some fights where we gave one fighter no chance - i.e Oscar vs Pac, Pac vs Marquez 3 etc
Even Chisora knows he is not going to win, you can just tell.
