    Usyk will at some stage be a world heavyweight champion. Big step up
    In weight for him tonight. If he boxes clever then his class will ease him through comfortably If he gets into a war, which is exactly what Chisora wants, then it will be interesting to see how he copes. Potentially a great match up

    For anyone wondering what happened, Chisora lost.

    I think usyk has a long way to go before he will worry the belt holders in the division, not sure he has the power to challenge them after last night's showing

    Great technical boxer, but just doesn't have the size and power at HW. I just don't see him troubling even the likes of Parker, Whyte, and Povetkin. Let alone Fury, Wilder, and Joshua.

    He will bulk up like Holyfield had to. Also, he does carry power as he had Chisora in trouble however you are correct, he needs more to trouble the best. Technically superb so he could win a title without knocking anyone out. Would love to see him against Fury. That would be fascinating

    At times, Chisora troubled Usyk despite not throwing any combinations - it was all just 1 punch at a time. Against someone like AJ or Fury, who will hit him Right, Left, Right, he won't trouble them at all.

    Dillian Whyte's rematch with Alexander Povetkin has been postponed after the Russian tested positive for coronavirus.

    Unlucky for Whyte, he needed to bounce back as quick as possible

    Derek Chisora will face Kubrat Pulev in an unexpected heavyweight rematch on July 9.

    The Brit had been lined up for a bout with Adam Kownacki or Chris Arreola, however these contests did not get over the line and so the surprise second fight with Pulev has been made, which will take place at the O2 Arena in London.
