By "other contenders" I meant anyone else in the division, but yeah him too.
There are better fighters for him to chose from other than Audley that would help him prepare for Wlad in height, style, and technique: Dimitrenko, Ray Austin, Tony Thompson, etc. but I suppose Audley is the one British fighter out of the lot that can serve as practice. Remember this dude fought Valuev, I don't see why he needs to fight someone tall again just for the sake of getting used to the size difference.
Audley is more like Wlad than Valuev though. Valuev doesn't even have the amateur style, he is just basically a freak that has size and not much else. As for Dimitrenko, Ray Austin, Tony Thompson, etc they are not big money guarantees over here.Quote:

He may hurt himself by trying to do both because although Audley may have been a good amateur right now he's not going to show you anything in the ring that Wlad will show you.Quote:

Looks like Warren and Del Boy really fancy the fight with Wlad like I say why the fuck not? Pretty hard task but if he looses so what, let's be honest if he took the usual route of trying to fight the best in the division a man with Chisora's skills would probably fall short before he got anywhere near being in that posistion, if Wlad beats him he will:
1. Be known to the world of boxing and could lead to other fights say with the likes of Arreola or Peter or another belt holder.
2.Goes back to domestic level as if nothing happens if anything a bit more respect and a much healthier bank balance.
Can see no reason not to take this fight for Del Boy he will only kick himself in the future when he gets beat on the way to the top by someone like Snowoski.
Would al so love to see Del Boys antics leading upto the fight.
People hate on Sosnowski, but the dude showed some heart and a decent chin vs Vitali and he drew with Pianetta so I don't think he's God awful, he wasn't deserving of a title shot but he's not horrible.

Haha...nice. Now that we've spoken well of him, Sosnowski will probably get his ass kicked tonightQuote:

I never saw the fight but I can't believe how badly he apparently got beaten by Zuri Lawrence. Is it true he was all but out in that fight?Quote:

I've never seen that fight either...but hell Zuri has NEVER KO'd anyone you'd figure someone as big as him would have done that by now.Quote:

There were moments that in between being boxed out silly, Sosnowski seemed to be a little bit out on his feet and if Lawrence would have pressed, a stoppage would have been conceivable. The guy who was in danger of becoming Zuri Lawrence's first KO victim fought Vitali Klitschko. Awesome.
I remember that fight (ESPN2 FNF), whenever Zuri punches it almost seems like neither foot is on the ground. No doubt Sosnowski was hurt in that fight and that fact alone makes it hard to take any run up the division he may have seriously. That is also why he had no shot against Vitali. Even though he maintained as a dancing punching bag for 10 rounds, there was nothing there that gave him a shot.Quote:
