Hearns looking to stick this on his show along with Josh Kelly v Robinson 2 and an Okolie fight.
Decent card if true
As long as the fight happens I don’t really care. It’s just a slap in the face to make it the go feature to a pretty worthless fight.
How does Chisora keep getting big fights? Dude has gotten more big fights for no reason than Khan
As long as it happens, so minus the whole wbss? Might save some coin on that trophy. Glad Robinson is getting another crack. Parker and Chisora rings like a bit of a dud but can see it for local consumption.
Chisora has good connections, and Haye as his manager.
Another PPV, great.
this is what needed to happen, can’t wait
This was the best news of the entire night. Great fight. Great venue. A proper 50/50 potential P4P job. However, the crowd cheered louder when Chisora-Parker was announced. I felt a bit embarrassed for Taylor and boxing nerds. Says it all.
Taylor will be a bigger name now he’s fighting with matchroom
And chisora deserves the fights, it’s a fight that interests me so he still has appeal at least with some
I wouldn’t have paid for it tho, PPV is getting ridiculous, it’s every fight that’s bigger than next gen or mild domestic, I’d have given up on it by now without a doubt, I’ll watch it mind you because I have some dodgy shit in my house
With all these ppv’s it is not worth having a sky subscription any more.
Issue is I watch football and rugby too, if boxing was my only sport and I didn’t have the dodgy shit in my house I wouldn’t get sky, probably, appreciate boxing is on a high n all but it’s gone too far
Even itv are putting fights on PPV

Definitely getting worse with the ppv’s, BT have joined the act as well. Just need channel 5 to do it now. 
This is one of the best battles currently possible. Choosing a winner is very difficult. I like Taylor a little. Parker defeats Chisora ​​easily
Geez having trouble picking a winner here. I’m a fan of both guys. Right now, slight edge to Prograis, but I go back and forth.
You can feel the tension building the more this goes on.
Think this’ll catch fire from round 1 and be an epic battle.
Seriously looking forward to this one. 😎
I’m a fan of Taylor, but some of the stuff he was saying was pointless. Bringing up the headlock thing like it meant something, when it was all fun and games, then trying to imply Prograis was trying to get out of the tournament. If Prograis had deadlines, then they needed to be met, once they were, fight was on. I’m sure Prograis would have preferred not to travel, but he doesn’t seem like the type to avoid anyone. He was the smallest (and only) guy in the room to stand up to Chisora, while Taylor sat quietly.
The head lock comment was tongue in cheek, even Prograis knew it, remember these interviews are carefully orchestrated, directed and edited, there’s lots of stuff cut out. It is obvious they have 100% respect, the only little differences are Taylor has an old school Brit mentality (we wouldn’t say we’re a superstar even if we believed it) whereas Prograis is a typical super confident American who believes the limelight is his destiny.
Prograis has done more press in London than any fighter ever, I can’t believe how much media he’s done, he’s literally been like a tourist. And come across as a great guy to boot.
Off the top probably the fight I’m most anticipating this year. Can’t see the vid from here but these guys are two of the most genuinely confident fighters going. I like Prograis to win but honestly wonder about him giving up his head in spots in order to ‘show’ what is very solid defense. He gets real loose at times. A body shot clinic either way this one.
I’m anticipating this match up more than I did for the Beterbiev and Gvozdyk one. Both are fights which are huge for hardcore fans but casuals have no idea about
True but hopefully this will elevate both fighters into super stardom because they deserve it.
