Derek Chisora believes he is the ideal choice to fill UK stadiums if Daniel Dubois is looking for a high-profile title defense. Chisora points to his proven ability to attract a crowd, a factor he feels neither Oleksandr Usyk nor Joseph Parker can match on British soil. He argues that a matchup with Dubois at Wembley Stadium would sell out and provide the kind of entertainment fight fans want.
According to Chisora, Dubois is still honing his skills and should be given some leeway for any bumps in the road. At the same time, Chisora emphasizes that his popularity, along with Dubois’ growing profile, would result in an event worthy of a massive venue. While Usyk and Parker have both defeated Chisora, he maintains they lack the drawing power he commands in the UK market.
The question remains whether a final fight for the veteran warhorse against the IBF heavyweight champion will materialize. In a sport often influenced by marketability and ticket sales, Chisora’s argument holds weight. Dubois has yet to establish the kind of name recognition needed to fill huge arenas on his own, which makes a clash with Chisora a potentially lucrative alternative for both sides.
