Originally posted by yoz View PostDisappointing headliner on Saturday. Chisora looked disinterested, like his heart isn't in boxing anymore. Sure, Fury could have stopped him, but why bother? Rounds are always good, and he was able to practice a few things in the ring (switching etc.). Hopefully he'll be matched against someone his own height soon. Fighting cruiserweights and small HWs is hardly adequate preparation for Wladimir.

One of the televised undercard bouts in the works is a heavyweight eliminator between Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov (19-0-1, 12 KOs), 30, a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist from Ukraine, and Philadelphia's Steve Cunningham, 38, a former two-time cruiserweight titleholder. The winner will become one of champion Wladimir Klitschko's mandatory challengers. Duva said she is talking to HBO about a deal to put on the fight.
In Glazkov's last fight, he pummeled Darnell "Ding-A-Ling Man" Wilson in a seventh-round knockout on the Kovalev-Hopkins undercard.
Cunningham, coming off a seventh-round knockout of previously undefeated Natu Visinia on Oct. 18, has won three fights in a row since a seventh-round knockout loss to top contender Tyson Fury, whom Cunningham knocked down.
"Both have agreed to take the fight, so we're making the fight," Duva said. "We promote both fighters and we've spoken to both of them, so we're doing our best to get the most money we can. It'll be a terrific fight. HBO also may buy a third fight to make it a tripleheader."
