One more war for “Del Boy”

Derek Chisora put on a classic performance against Otto Wallin, extending his win streak to three in a row. The 41 year olds efforts have earned him the right of being the mandatory for the IBF title.

Time for Chisora to kick his feet up and watch closely as Dubois and Joseph Parker fight for the IBF title on February 22nd. As the IBF title eliminator winner, Chisora should, in theory, challenge the winner for the championship. However, the current heavyweight king, Oleksandr Usyk, will also be standing by, watching as he analyzes the next challenger to his throne. Unfortunately for Derek, I cannot see a world in which the winner of Dubois vs. Parker fights anyone other than Usyk for the undisputed title.

This leads me to believe that logical match up for Chisora is Anthony Joshua. Two British boxing stars collide in this fight, giving Joshua a chance to rebound after his defeat to Dubois while also providing Chisora with one last blockbuster payday—and with a win, just maybe one more war for Del Boy, for all the marbles.
