The promoter Frank Warren revealed that this Saturday’s fight between Derek Chisora and Otto Wallin is a IBF heavyweight title eliminator To determine a compulsory to defend Daniel Dubois. Chisora vs Walling fights a 12 round on February 8 at the Live Arena co-op in Manchester, England.
It is incredible that the companion Chisora is in an IBF title eliminator with his 13 career defeats and empties more than three skidrow level 40 years.
Is it fair?
Chisora, 41 years old (35-13, 23 KB) set out to fight for an IBF title eliminator against No. 12 Wallin (27-2, 15 KB) by beating these three heavy goods vehicles:
Joe Joyce – 39
Gerald Washington – 42
Kubrat Pulev – 43
It is not exactly the row of the murderer that Chisora went through to win an IBF eliminator point, because he should have beat much better fighters than this to be a victory to challenge Daniel Dubois for his title .
It is almost impossible for Chisora to defeat Wallin, 34, because it is much younger, more technical and fights at a much higher level. However, with the fight organized in the United Kingdom, you cannot exclude a controversial victory for Derek. The location of the fight and the sentimental drama could make it difficult for Wallin to win.
The Swedish fighter lost against Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury during his 12 -year -old professional career. Many fans believe that Wallin should have received a stop victory against Fury in their fight on September 14, 2019, because King Gitan had suffered a bad break at the start of the fight.
The ring doctor lets continue with Tyson bleeding everywhere and resembling a complete wreck. Even with the combat going to the cards, Wallin had the impression that he deserved victory, but he ended up on the losing stick by a 12 laps decision against the most popular Tyson.
IBF’s dubious decision
“I expect him to focus on the 49th because without the success of the 49th, there will be no 50,” said promoter Frank Warren Box When asked if Derek Chisora’s next fight will be in Africa. “This is also how you lose if you lose.
It is a difficult fight. Do not neglect Otto Wallin. He lost only two fights, and it was for two world champions, Tyson Fury and AJ. All the others are victories. They [Team Wallin] Want that. This is why they are here.
“What everyone forgets is that it is an eliminator of the title of the IBF,” said Warren about the eliminator of the title of Chisora against Wallin being an eliminator of the IBF title to determine A compulsory to defend Daniel Dubois.
It would be disturbing to see Chisora fighting for a world title against the IBF champion, Daniel Dubois, taking into account his many defeats and washing since 2019. Fury has received massive criticisms for defending his title of WBC against Chisora in December 2022, with Delboy losing three out of the out of his last four fights. It was a complete joke, making Fury look like a cherry picker.
“This is an IBF title eliminator, and the IBF will decide what they are going to do after that,” said Warren when he said that Martin Bakole and Efe Ajagba expect to fight in a last eliminator of the IBF title in May in New York.
“Of course, this would be the case. It would be great for him to return there and do it, “said Warren about Chisora fighting for a world title in the 50th and last fight of his career. It would be the perfect end for him.
“If Daniel [Dubois] Comes on February 22 in Riyadh against Joe Parker, he and Derek, what a fight it would be, “said Warren.
Wallin will always be far too good for Chisora on Saturday, which will prevent fans from seeing Delboy walk to the board to challenge Dubois for his title. This fight would be a complete massacre and not even athletic at a distance.
