Following the withdrawal of Danny Williams last week Derek Chisora’s 11-0(6) will now face Williams Prize Fighter conqueror Carl “The Fridge” Baker 9-4(6). The fight will be billed as an eliminator for the British title. The 28 year old Baker who hails from Sheffield appeared capable enough in Prizefighter and should provide Chisora with a test. It was also rumoured that Tyson Fury was offered the chance to fight Chisora but decided against it.
Also appearing on the Wembley Arena card will be James Degale 5-0(3). He has reportedly been offered £50,000 to fight former amateur rival George Groves 8-0(6) on the David Haye-John Ruiz undercard on 3 April. However it would be a major surprise if this comes off as many behind the scene’s will believe that a few years down the road that the purse they would get for fighting each other would be considerably more than what has been offered at the moment.
