Looks like Wladimir Klitschko is seriously considering Derek Chisora for Dec

British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Derek Chisora has been offered a surprise shot at IBF and WBO heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko.

Chisora and promoter Frank Warren are currently considering the offer, which may prove too good an opportunity to turn down.

The Londoner impressed Wladimir's team with his stoppage win over Sam Sexton last Saturday.

And they believe he could be the ideal opponent for the giant Ukrainian in December.

Klitschko is scheduled to box then but does not yet have an opponent, and there is no obvious choice.

Chisora, 26, has had 14 fights, winning them all, with nine early wins.

His victory over Sexton should help him to break into the top 10 of at least one of the big four governing bodies.

Overmatched opponent and he knows it. He can't turn it down. If you can make easily 700,000-1,000,000 in one fight, you have to take it.

Great shot for Chisora but another let down fight by a Klitschko in my opinion.

If only Adamek had just waited a couple weeks.

Who would you like the Klitschko's to fight? Haye turned them down, Valuev? Chagaev ( who already got tkod by one) or Teddy Atlas fighter who just turned them down also Alexander Povetkin?

Who is Wlad supposed to face?

ring rated top 10 guys
Haye has a fight
Vitali has a fight and they won't ever fight
Povetkin-ran away!!!
Adamek-has a fight and they did inquire and he didn't want to drop that fight for Wlad
Chagaev-Wlad beat him
Chambers-Wlad beat him
Boytsov-his team isn't going to take the cash out at this early stage
Valuev-Vitali tried that and Valuev outpriced himself (isn't he having surgery anyway?)
Dimitrenko-HIs team isn't eager for him to step up after Chambers beat him going away
Arreola-lost to Vitali, lost to Adamek, looked fat and out of shape in his comeback fight

others:
Tony Thompson-Wlad already beat him though it was much more competitive than most of his fights
Ray Austin-Wlad KO'd him in 2
Solis-just changed promotional teams and has likely shot against Vitali soon
Sosnowski-vitali beat down
Juan Carlos Gomez-Vitali beat him down
Sam Peter-beaten down by both bros
Holyfield-forget it
Kevin Johnson-Vitali beat him easily and he is MIA since
Hasim Rahman-Wlad already beat
Mormeck-offered and turned it down
David Tua-got a gift and looked super old against Barrett

There isn't anyone!!! Wlad and Vitali are dispatching everyone. After a few more fights almost everyone on the damn list will have lost to Wlad or Vitali.

What gets to me is the guys on that list!!!!

None of the possible opponents will fight another contender. All they do is fight nobodies (not getting any better in doing so), and just wait for their turn to get the huge payday and a beatdown from either Klit.

Micheal Grant could be added to the list.

This is what happenes when men clean out divisions. Their dominance at some point makes some guys not want to fight them and leaves the rankings full of them and of men already beaten.

Usually what happens is some younguns come along and change the equation. But we seem a year or two away from Povetkin, Boystove and perhaps Dimitrenko from being ready and a lifetime from 13 (the fighter formerly known as 12) having sufficient nads.

I mean this is another of those occasions where the fault, such as it is, lies with everyone EXCEPT Wlad.

im serious

the most interesting fight for me in the heavyweight division is a Tony Thompson rematch

Yeah, they have cleaned it out. Just another year or so when Adamek, Haye, Povetkin, Dimtrienko, and Boystov have all had a shot and lost, then the entire division will be a barren landscape. Oh wait, Mr. 13 isn't going to fight either of them.

I will just say what every1 should be saying they need to fight each other. This division is such a joke right now and I havent seen such an underdog get a shot at the title since Apollo gave Rocky a shot(just a joke guys). I know they are brothers and have vowed never to fight each other but besides Floyd vs Pac would there be a bigger fight in boxing?

I say James Toney should be punished for embarrassing boxing at UFC 117.

Lol Tim be serious for a second. Two brothers are never going to fight each other and no one should blame them.

I've never been interested in seeing Vitali vs Wladimir, it's just wrong to force siblings to box each other on live tv.

they used to spar but had to stop, because it was getting too intense.

Yeah I read about that in Ring magazine, apparently Wlad ended up in a bloody mess.

The important question is why doesn't Wlad or Vitali face each other, but rather why are all the guys in the top 10 and those i have listed as others, not actually facing anyone????
Sam Peter got another title shot by beating 3 total bums.
There is alot of names above that could be matched to make fights that would prove who should be a challenger for Wlad or Vitali. The most viable guys aren't ready, and the rest are just being inactive, fighting bums, and praying for the "golden ticket".

If a fighter on the list beat a couple of other guys on the list, then we might have some challengers that have proven something.

Well because it's a new era of course and fighting less often (but having lots of training camps) makes one better. And don't forget the magical training methods...and the unicorns! Don't you know anything?

Other than the brothers, this is the absolute worst era of heavies ever. EVER. FOR EVER AND EVER.

LOL, I'm a little bored and I'm trying to figure out if I want to argue with that.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!

James Broad would be a dominant beltholder in today's division.

I really hope Chisora doesn't get this fight. Hes a classless bum and hasn't earned this shot at all. He tried to show some class against Sexton the last night but he had already showed his true colours long before that when he but that guys ear and didn't show any remorse whatsoever. He was actually smiling about it.

I can't blame them for not fighting each other since they are brothers and they obviously love each other very much but there is no fight I want more right now than Klitschko vs Klitschko. How surreal would that be? Brother vs Brother. The two best heavyweights in the world. That quote makes me want to see it even more. Call me sick in the head but I'd love to see them throw down.
