Derek Chisora v Joseph Parker

[SlimTrae]

14yrs 42 fights old. some serious miles on those 42 bouts, Derek will be one of those guys that just gets old in one fight. I like Derek, but think Parker takes it by decision.

He needs to retire ASAP.

He’s suffering serious damage in there.

May 1st I just want a decent top tier heavyweight scrap for my B day . This is closer to it than the PBC same day steamer Ruiz v Arreola on PPV . Hope Parker comes with more fire than his waltz with Junior Fa though. Good to see Bivol back in action on card.

Dereck Chisora is the best paid journeyman in history!

Joking aside, I would have picked Parker to comfortably beat Chisora prior to the Fa fight, but now, I'm not so sure.

Parker looked very flat versus Fa & I don't know if it is because of Fa's style, or whether Joseph has slipped, but he'll need to up his game, otherwise he's in for a tough fight.

I'm going with Parker, but the fight might be more interesting than I previously thought such a fight would be.

I'd agree with that. Wasn't impressed by Parker vs Fa at all. It's easy to forget he's not even 30 still but he seems like an old fighter.
This could be a pretty competitive fight, especially if Chis comes out swinging for the fences like he did vs Whyte.

Chisora comes out swinging against everyone including Usyk and still loses.

I honestly don't think he will retire, as long as he is making a few bob from his fights and there is still a little interest in them he'll keep taking them, I think he genuinely just enjoys it, he doesn't need the money, I think its just a nice little bonus.

Derek Chisora teams up with new trainer Buddy McGirt ahead of heavyweight clash against Joseph Parker

Derek Chisora announces Buddy McGirt as new trainer to oversee preparations for his crucial heavyweight clash against New Zealand's former WBO champion Joseph Parker on May 1,

Derek Chisora has teamed up with new trainer Buddy McGirt ahead of next month's crucial heavyweight clash against Joseph Parker.

Chisora faces former WBO champion Parker on May 1, live on Sky Sports Box Office, and respected American McGirt will now oversee the British contender's preparations.

Announcing his trainer on social media, Chisora wrote: 'Building on the team, preparing for war!'

McGirt most recently trained Sergey Kovalev, the former WBO light-heavyweight champion, and also previously guided the career of Sky Sports expert Matthew Macklin.

Parker has also revamped his training camp, bringing in Tyson Fury's coach Andy Lee after the New Zealander amicably split from long-term cornerman Kevin Barry.

"I think it's exciting to see how it plays out," Parker's manager David Higgins told Sky Sports.

"We've heard good things about Andy. The two of them will spend a bit of time together and get to know each other.

"(Parker) He's excited about freshening things up a bit and maybe learning some new things, in a new environment.

"He had a wonderful run together with Kevin Barry and became world champion, but now it's time for a new chapter."

D. Chisora will plod along and get hit a hella shots and lose but not by knockout. He's gonna claim injury and then have more future fights. I don't think he should be fighting anymore at this point but he will plod on.

Funny thing is , I thought that is exactly what happened in the 2nd Fury fight. Watching that fight, you would think he would never fight again. I always thought he was the luckiest HW to keep getting good earning fights because he never beat anyone. That was a good few years ago.
To be fair to him, he has produced some of his best performances since then.
But if you said he shouldn’t be doing it anymore, I wouldn’t argue. Too tough for his own good.

It'd be some boxing story if Derek won

where would he go next?

Wilder? Whyte 3? AJ Fury Loser?

Would it though? It is Joseph Parker. It would be a bit like taking over from Jim Bowen on Bullseye. Jim could just about do the job but he was never going to be Les Dawson was he?

ha well, maybe it wouldnt be mcartney leaving the beatles

be slightly more interesting than Parker winning tho

And i think youre selling Jim short, my mum and dad got a caravan in Clitheroe a year or two ago and we sat around watching bullseye on gold (or some channel), would bullseye even have been a thing if it wasnt for Jim?

I'll have to think carefully about this reply, because I was a Bullseye winner in 1986, David Haye is on the money machine with Chiz, good luck to him, but as I've always said, Tyson Fury is on the money, Anthony Joshua is a poor second, the rest are wannabee substitutes.
