Haye is a few classes above fury. People can and do slag haye off because he rubbed people up the wrong way mouthing off a few times....but

I've watched haye for a good few years now, you have to remember he's a natural cruiser weight....he completed smashed that division up and unified the four belts....that is world class level boxing.

I remember an interview he did back then, completely different persona he puts out know, he was humble, and questioning what he does next, he's dominated his division but wasn't a house hold name and knew he had to go heavy weight and even stated he had to put on more off a show outside the ring to promote himself, he looked at the division and he fancied winning a world title and he did, He has won the world heavy weight title

He's a unified cruiser weight and heavy weight world champion...he's boxed top class throughput his career

Fury...and I'll add the other British 'hope' price, can only dream of matching half of what haye has achieved

He will be too quick for this lump to land anything and he's got the power to spark him out or of needed the ability to outbox him and pick him off for a points win

The only way haye will lose is if he beats himself

For British boxing in that divison, the best outcome is for haye to spark him out after dominating for three or four rounds

We can than be in a position to get fury and price in the ring for a big laugh...winner gains some respect, loser can **** off and retire

Gutted for Price, I was hoping he could do well.

Fury looked terrified and did a bad job of styling it out. Haye was all composed for a change, hope he gives Fury a lesson and shuts him up.

Danny Garcia vs. Lucas Matthysse will be on the undercard of Mayweather vs Alvarez

Dereck Chisora claims WBO heavyweight title with controversial stoppage of Malik Scott

British heavyweight Dereck Chisora stopped Malik Scott to claim the vacant World Boxing Organisation International heavyweight title, but the denouement at Wembley Arena was mired in controversy as the American’s corner claimed it was premature

Promoter Frank Warren revealed afterwards that Chisora will fight next at the Copper Box in the Olympic Park on September 21, and challenged unbeaten American Deontay Wilder to face the Finchley heavyweight.

This was a career-changing fight for Chisora, who had lost four of his last six contests, but a heavy overhand right in the sixth round landed on the top of the American’s head and he sank to his knees in the corner. Referee Victor Loughlin counted the visiting fight out and waved the contest off.

This was 32-year-old Scott’s first loss in his 37th fight, and marks the opportunity for Frank Warren, Chisora’s promoter, to look to match him towards world title contention again.

“It was the most nervous I have been before a fight, because I just couldn’t afford to lose,” admitted Chisora afterwards, having been on a strict dietary regime and still undergoing anger management classes.

This was a deeply focused Chisora, who looked to have taken the heart of Scott with that heavy shot in the sixth round. Television replays later showed he was still on one knee as referee Loughlin counted to nine. Jesse Reid, the 71-year-old Halle of Fame trainer in the American’s corner remonstrated with the officials, but it was too late. Chisora had taken the spoils, justifiably on the evidence.

“Dereck had to win this fight because there was nowhere for him to go if he lost,” admitted Warren. “He showed mental as well as physical toughness in there, because he knew a loss and it would be tough to come back again. Period.”

It had been an absorbing contest. The pair went to work in the first round at a decent pace, Scott showing his silkier skills. The British heavyweight wore Scott’s punches easily, landing a good right upper cut out of a combination.

A welt under Scott’s right eye was pronounced when he came out for the second round. “Punch and move, beautiful,” commented Hall of Fame trainer Jesse Reid from Scott’s corner in the second round as he landed counters.

“Speed, speed,” he yelled in the third as the unbeaten American unleashed several combinations.

Chisora looked impervious as he looked to get in close, tie up, wrestle and throw punches from the inside. Chisora landed on Scott’s shoulder with a leaping left hook with the third.

The better work belonged to Scott. But they went into the trenches in the fourth, going toe to toe, mainly on the ropes, with Chisora looking to impose himself. Scott was warned by referee Victor Loughlin for leading with the forearm.

After four rounds, it looked even. It was still close after the fifth, but Chisora found the mark with an overhand right in the sixth and earned his stripes again. A great performance from Chisora when it was really needed.

I think Froch v Groves will be confirmed today for November 23 at a venue to be decided. Froch's IBF title will be up for grabs.

[RichC]

Groves might be worth a punt for this, I don't think he's the same level as Froch but can Froch get himself up for a fight that is probably perceived as a step or two below what he's been fighting at of late.

Groves might be worth a punt for this, I don't think he's the same level as Froch but can Froch get himself up for a fight that is probably perceived as a step or two below what he's been fighting at of late.

Froch just needs to turn up for this. Easy pay day IMO, Groves is nowhere near his level.

[RichC]

Read what I said!

It's not just about turning up, it's about being in the right mind frame and you could imagine he might not be as it's a fight that doesn't excite or interest him. Seen it happen over the years.
