Derek Chisora was told that he would'struggle to get a fight against Deontay Wilder'
The British fan-favourite, now 37, is without a win in any of his three previous fights. However, he remains as popular as ever.
After Fury beat Wilder, 33 in October, Eddie Hearn suggested that Chisora was the perfect opponent for Wilder.
Ben Shalom, a Boxxer promoter, urged the veteran heavyweight fighter to forget about the WBC champion and instead focus on Hughie.
Sky Sports' Shalom said that he would struggle to win the Deontay Wilder bout that has been talked about.
"Even DillianWhyte was unable to secure the Wilder fight. Hughie is Chisora's fight of choice.
"If Chisora wins it is a sign that he remains an elite British heavyweight. Chisora lost to Parker. Parker was only 23 years old when Hughie beat him.

"We reached out to Derek again. We want the fight. Hughie wants it. Peter Fury wants to have it.
After five rounds of October, Hughie, 27 years old, beat Romanian Christian Hammer (34).
