Usyk finally in with a seasoned full blown Heavyweight, on paper Usyk gives Del boy a lesson but anything can happen if Chisora starts landing.
Hammers got Covid so Dave Allen now needs a last minute opponent.
Piss take it's PPV and a non title fight when you consider Dubois v Joyce isn't.

Undercard Highlights
On the undercard, Welshman Lee Selby (28-2, 9KOs) is aiming to challenge for another world title but first must get past undefeated Australian George Kambosos Jr (18-0, 10KOs) in a 12-round IBF World lightweight title final eliminator.
33-year-old ‘Lightning’ Lee was the IBF World featherweight champion between July 2017 to May 2018. It was clear that the featherweight could no longer make the 126lbs limit after defeat to Josh Warrington, and moved up to win the IBF Inter-Continental lightweight title in his first fight back against American Omar Douglas (20-3, 14KOs). He then decisioned triple champion Ricky Burns in his last fight in October 2019 to reach no.4 in the IBF World rankings. His 31st opponent is just above him in third place.
The ‘Ferocious’ Australian is 27-years-old and currently unbeaten in 18 bouts. He won the New South Wales title in his third fight, the Australian national belt in his sixth, and has also collected WBA and IBF regional honours during his seven-year pro career. In his last fight, he defeated former IBF World lightweight champion Mickey Bey (23-3-1, 11KOs) at Madison Square Garden in December last year.
His recent scalps, although not notable names other than Bey, have been impressive in numbers. Since his step up to win the Australian title, every opponent has been a winning fighter, with a combined record of 227-53-15. His moniker is well justified, he is ferocious and intimidating. His right uppercut that landed to knock down Mickey Bey was simply stunning and he very nearly stopped him in that last round.
Slickster Selby is also appropriately named, with his fast hands and fleet feet. Although known for skill over power, he has knocked out and stunned a few opponents cold with the one shot. His punch variety is very impressive, and his shots whipped into the body take the speed and spirit away from his ring rivals.
Savannah Marshall and Hannah Rankin’s WBO Middleweight Title fight has been re-scheduled for October 31 on the undercard of the heavyweight clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Dereck Chisora.

really looking forward to this. Want to know how good Usyk really is going to be at HW and Del boy is capable of giving anyone problems.
Will be a good test
I have been very high on Usyk for a long time. I’ve always basically thought he was a bigger version of Loma. I just hope he doesn’t fall into what happened to Loma and lose to the bigger man.
I think Usyk will win pretty easily though. Chisora isn’t great, but it is a decent test at HW. I’m definitely interested.
Usyk is a great technical boxer l enjoy watching his fights but PPV it's a joke Hearn is take the piss once again I will be watching but not paying.!
Usyk should provide a good stoppage win here. Chisora has been done for a while.
I wouldn't say Chisora is done. He's got some pretty decent form over the last couple of years. That said I don't think that form matters much here. Completely different kettle of fish smashing a by comparison stationary Takam and Szpilka.
I'm liking the Indian summer Chisora is having but it ends here. I cant see anything other than Chisora chasing shadows and Usyk slowly breaking him down for a late stoppage or comprehensive points win. Would be great if he could drag Usyk into a fight though.
I hope Del Boy is getting paid really well for these beatings he is taking!Quote:

£4 million guarantee for Del Boy, £1.5 million for Uysk. Yeah he's getting well paid.
Really? That’s insane that Chisora is getting paid that much.Quote:

Hearns last 4 PPV shows have done shit figures (Whyte v Povetkin 220k) so those stories of Chisora being gauranteed 4 miilion fighting an unknown (to the casuals) is utter internet bullshit basically.
No way in a million years Hearn would gamble on losing money.
Covid and the arrival of PPV Football will kill PPV boxing as millions more turn to IPTV illegal streams.
Dave Allen next opponent is an unbeaten American KO artist with 19 knockouts from 19 wins

Fuck me, I’m sure your source is good, they usually are. But I don’t believe for one minute he’s getting that AND Usyk is getting less than half of what he is.Quote:

Source is Eddie Hearn and David Haye.
Dave Allen opponent is a 19-0, 19 KO's inside three rounds American? Zero footage. Every fight in Tijuana. The sell this week will be shameless. Bet he doesn't last 3 rounds. :D

Bearing in mind this will do shit PPV buys.
I briefly tried to look up some footage of this bloke. You can find plenty of vids of him on jet skis saying how pretty he is, but none of him hitting other people. He's taking a massive step up in class ;DQuote:

OK so the fight has been hyped up
OK Usyck is a real opponent
OK Del Boy has improved under Haye
Looks interesting, squeaky bum time for Del, in a few days he could be the new mums and dads favourite, Fury and Joshua never will be.
Sorry to sit on the fence.
Is Usyk the former lead singer of the Inspiral Carpets ?

If Usyk loses this on he will have nowhere to go , promoters will stop calling, he will start thinking.-
"This Is How It Feels To Be Lonely ".
Dave Allen’s opponent forgot that he’s under contract with big Don apparently. Fight in jeopardy.
This bloke. Who’s clearly shite. Has got Don and the Mayweathers all over him. Something proper fishy about this bloke.
He probably signed with all the promoters in the USA and took their money never thinking he would be this succesful. Remember Buster Douglas dad over sell his son's promotional rights until he owed people money.Quote:

Usyk is very very well schooled, great amateur and pro pedigree. I can't see any way Chisora outpoints him. Usyk is not a big hitter either, so I see a points win for Usyk here, unless Chisora gets cut.
Chisora's only hope is an all out assault from the start really.
Think we'll see Usyk do a paintjob here but both can get careless.
You have to love this boxing lark - some freak undercard fight that basically means nothing to the boxing world has a 90 year-old Don King puting the kybosh on it unless Eddie serves up a couple grand for him. Completely mental business from top to bottom. :D
Dereck Chisora outweighed Oleksandr Usyk by not far off three stone when they met at their weigh-in on Friday.
The Brit came dressed for the occasion ahead of tomorrow’s Halloween fight night, as he decked himself out in white body paint with his nickname ‘WAR’ written across his chest.
Chisora hit the scales first and came in at 18st 3lbs 8oz (255.5lbs).
Usyk followed up and weighed 15st 7lbs 4oz (217.25lbs).
This means that the difference between them is 2st 10lbs 4oz (38.25lbs).
The pair then shared an intense final face off with Chisora making sure he got up close and personal with his opponent.
Usyk is the former undisputed cruiserweight champion and won every belt at the weight class.
He’s now moved up to the heavyweight division and is attempting to achieve the same goal.
The Ukrainian won his heavyweight debut against Chazz Witherspoon last year, but Chisora will be his first real test in the division.

Well l've succumbed to the hype, one unit per round on chiz ko, plus one for points and one for the draw (been doing that for every fight since fury wilder1) you never know when the fix is in.
Lets be constructive, we all know Usyck should have a good night, but.........
Looking forward to a good night in (like every other fucking one nowadays) but with her indoors elsewhere whilst I view and survey my investments, swearing to my hearts content.
Happy fucking Halloween
The first 4 rounds will decide the fight. If Chisora can make it a war and wear down Usyk with his extra weight he will win the fight one way or another.
If Usyk survives these rounds and early bombardment, even giving those rounds away, he can get into a rhythm to win the bout.
Anna looking lovely as usual
What time is main event expected
Yeah this has been a tough one to make my mind up on.
Agree with Master, the first 4 rounds will decide this!
Anyone know the time?Quote:
