Rogan to Face Chisora?

Anyone think Derck Chisora could be facing Belfast Brawler Martin Rogan in his next fight?

Please read below:

Britain’s Dereck Chisora (19-4, 11 KO’s) will be fighting in only two months on September 21st in London, UK, and he badly needs an opponent for that fight date. Although Chisora mentioned Kubrat Pulev and Deontay Wilder as two fighters he wouldn’t mind fighting on September 21st, it’s pretty clear that he doesn’t have a chance in a million to get either of those talents to fight on short notice in his home country.

With the controversy that surrounds Chisora’s win over Malik Scott last Saturday, there’s no way I could see Wilder or Pulev willing to go to the UK to fight Chisora. Well, there is one fighter that’s willing to take him on and that’s 42-year-old Martin Rogan (16-4, 8 KO’s), but he’s talking about wanting Chisora to fight him in Belfast, Northern Ireland rather than Chisora’s home city of London.


Rogan said to Boxing-ireland.com “His [Chisora] record is no further on than mine. He’s landed a couple of good fights. He showed good skills [against Malik Scott]. It’s a fight that would be good for the public.”

This might be the best option Chisora has for September because I don’t see him getting Wilder or Pulev to say yes. 42-year-old Audley Harrison also has thrown his hat into the ring and is reportedly interested in facing Chisora. Other than those 42-year-olds, Chisora’s promoter might be able to lures the likes of Kevin Johnson, Vinny Maddalone for Nicolai Firtha over to the UK to fight Chiosora.

Sure, it wouldn’t be a fight against a big name, but it depends on what Chisora’s promoters’ idea of what a big name is. Some people think Audley is a big name, and maybe there are some people who see Kevin Johnson as a big name.

Rogan-Chisora would be an awful fight, but then again so was Chisora vs. Scott.

Thoughts.

Awful fight if so. Rogan was never particularly good in his “prime” and he is a good few years past those days. Happy to see Chisora keeping busy but surely this represents a huge step backwards and I struggle to believe this is the best that can be secured. Never thought I’d say this but would prefer to see Audley get the call.

Audley has to travel thoug, whereas Rogan et al are just on the doorstep. Irs not gonna be Pricey, so that leaves Sexcton, Skelton, Dallas, Rogan, McDermott etc.

Who else?

Can't see Maddalone, Firtha, etc. travelling either tbh.

Not a chance Chisora gets Pulev, he's facing Thompson at the end of this month in an IBF eliminator.

Fighting Rogan is a step back from Scott, he could go after someone like Richard Towers if he's after a keep busy fight.

I just cant see somone like Pulev taking it at 5/6 weeks notice....

Richie Towers was a good shout though....

Or perhaps Mr Chisora wil not compete on Sep 21st...

He needs a keep busy fight but it also needs to be someone half decent or he just wont bother training, not sure what his best option would be for that date. Maybe the fear and shame of potential defeat to Audley would be enough to ensure he actually trains properly for the fight. If it's Rogan I can see him coming in 20lbs too heavy.

Rogan and Chisora have a bit of previous too, from when Rogan first won Prizefighter and Dereck was a stand in, apparently the two fighters had a bit of a spat backstage....

Dunno what's worse...this being touted as a potential fight or the return of Shenglong...on reflection, it's definitely the latter by some condsiderable distance.

All we need now is that t*rd ChristopherWasp to come back and the board is well and truly on its ar$e

Chisora refuse to pay his cab fare?

Nice to see Dave667 is still in bouyant form.

you need to choose either ja606 or 606v2 but you can't use both.

Can Sheng be banned before he causes so much trouble we want to track him down like Curtis Woodhouse. I warned you all about Davide and it went unheeded.

The same applies to Sheng.

There he isssssssss!!! Oul Sheng-dog!!!

Joke fight but should still be funny to watch on an undercard. Love watching Rogan get pasted.

I'll happily watch this to see Chisora seriously hurt that rubberheaded idiot Rogan.

Aright Dee, passed you the other day you were walking past the Santander Building opposite central, you get out of Capita mate?
