Desperate for a title
The winner of the Chisora-Wallin match will be mandatory for heavyweight champion IBF Daniel Dubois. This is difficult to believe because the 41 -year -old Chisora has lost two of his last five games and his three wins have come against old, primary heavyweights similar to himself.
The ages of the last three wins of Chisora: 39, 42 and 43. These wins came against Joe Joyce, Gerald Washington and Kubrat Pulev. Chisora has another vulnerable opponent in front of him with 34 -year -old Wallin, who recently stopped in five rounds by Anthony Joshua on December 23, 2023.
Chisora is not able to do the things Aj did to Wallin, especially at his age. Wallin, 6’5 1/2 “, is very tall and very good boxer for a slow, sudden Chisora to hit him or win a decision unless he is questionable, such as his victory over Pulev. This looked like with robbery.
“He struggles irregularly these days, but it’s still with a chance. I think he hits Wallin,” Barry McGuigan said Boxing Talksport About his prediction for a Derek Chisora victory over the much younger Otto Wallin on Saturday night. “I think he can crush and stop him, and if he does, he will take a shot in the world title (IBF) again (against Dubois).
“If he does, then I hope he can say,” Now, I’ll leave it. “I am worried that kids are going a lot. Not just for them. It’s not good for the sport. I’m just wondering how much he has left.
“It’s money. I know he won Joyce, and if he wins (Wallin), he has the opportunity to fight again for a world title. ”
