GOODORA 259.7 vs. Wallin 239.1 – Weighing results for Saturday

Fringe Derek Chisora ​​(35-13, 23 kos) heavily weigh 259.7 pounds, while his opponent Otto Wallin (27-2, 15 kos) reached about 239.1 thinner pounds in the weighing of Friday For its 12- Round of the IBF title eliminator this Saturday, February 8 at the CO-OP Live Arena in Manchester, England.

Desperate for an opportunity for the title

The winner of the Chief-Wallin fight will be mandatory for the heavyweight champion of the FIB, Daniel Dubois. That is difficult to believe because Chisora, 41, has lost two of his last five fights, and his three victories have arrived against the old heavyweights, similar to himself.

The ages of the last three victories of Chisora: 39, 42 and 43. Those victories arrived against Joe Joyce, Gerald Washington and Kubrat Pulev. Chisora ​​has another vulnerable opponent against him with Wallin, 34, who was recently arrested in five rounds by Anthony Joshua on December 23, 2023.

Chisora ​​is not able to do the things that AJ did to Wallin, especially at his age. Wallin, 6’5 1/2 ″, is too high and a boxer too good for a slow and heavy gossip to knock him out or win a decision unless he is questionable, such as his victory over Pulev. That seemed a robbery.

“He is fighting irregularly these days, but he still has an opportunity. I think he expires Wallin, ”said Barry McGuigan Talksport boxing About his prediction of a victory of Derek Chisora ​​over the much younger Otto Wallin on Saturday night. “I think he can overwhelm him and stop him, and if he does, he will receive an opportunity in the world title (IBF) again (against Dubois).

“If you do, then I hope I can say: ‘Now, I will get away from that.’ I worry that the boys are still too long. Not only for them. It is not good for the sport. I wonder how much it has left. How much of the Fire in the belly does it have, ”said McGuigan about a gossip?

“It’s money. I know that he beat Joyce, and if defeat (Wallin), he has the opportunity to fight for a world title again. “
