Will we get Chisora as a last minute replacement? Is there any feasible opponent for AJ that justify this being PPV in the UK? 3rd failed drug test for the Bodysnatcher - is this the end of his career?
Heavyweight division is a disaster right now. The lower classes are the hottest they've been in a looooong time and the big boys can't even get their pants on in the morning. Dillian getting retired might be a crippling blow for a struggling division if there was anything left to cripple. Chisora feels like the only decent option that actually has a chance of happening. Don't really think it's PPV worthy, though. Since it's AJ, I'm sure it will do fine numbers in the UK.
