    Who is your favourite heavyweight of all time and why?

    Steve: Favourite heavyweight has to be Mike Tyson in his prime. So destructive and straight in there. The current crop are big but not exactly fast movers.

    Shaun: Can be only the great Joe Louis .. without the war he would have set records beyond modern heavyweights.

    Round 5: Dereck Chisora v Carlos Takam

    Two straight lefts to the body from Dereck Chisora and that's some effective work from the Londoner. There have been more punches thrown and landed in five rounds than in some 12-rounders. Still exciting.

    It could end with one punch from either man.

    Round 5: Dereck Chisora v Carlos Takam

    A big right and a good left both land from Dereck Chisora. He seems to have recovered from a disastrous opening round where he looked in all sorts of trouble.

    He has taken a lot of shots, but great spirit shown from the Briton.

    Has Takam punched himself out early on?

  6. Postpublished at 21:58 British Summer Time 28 July 2018

    Chisora may have done enough to take that fourth round. A much-needed good round for the Londoner. The O2 Crowd are already getting their money's worth.

    After the Tyson Fury farce last month, where his opponent quit on his stool after the fourth round, British boxing needs a few good fights like this one.

    Round 4: Dereck Chisora v Carlos Takam

    Better from Chisora, he pops out a sweet jab into the face of Takam. But Chisora is soon forced back on to the ropes, and then catches his opponent with a sweet left hook as the Frenchman attacks.

    Round 4: Dereck Chisora v Carlos Takam

    A left to the body, a bit too south for the rules from Chisora sees Takam wince in pain. Looks like Chisora got away with it though.

    Round 4: Dereck Chisora v Carlos Takam

    "Keep digging the body," is what Dereck Chisora has been told. Three rounds gone, he may have lost all three though.

    Round 3: Dereck Chisora v Carlos Takam

    Another right overhand from Takam, that is more success for him. Chisora takes the shot well though, but can't keep taking this much punishment.

    Round 3: Dereck Chisora v Carlos Takam

    The lowly-regarded vacant World Boxing Association International Heavyweight Championship is on the line for the winner of this one.

    More important is what it does to either man's career. Where next for the loser? Well, judging by the opening two rounds, a rematch would be very popular. Incredible tear-up so far.

    Round 2: Dereck Chisora v Carlos Takam

    Chisora, fighting in front of his home crowd, is getting cheered every time he lands, but he has had to soak up so many shots.

    No need for any defence. It is just a slug-fest from both men. This one may well not go the distance.

    A massive right overhand from Takam looks fast and painful even in super slo-mo.

    Round 2: Dereck Chisora v Carlos Takam

    After being forced against the ropes for almost all of the opening three minutes, Chisora can get more central in the second round. But he has already taken so much punishment. How fit is Chisora?

    Chisora is already having to dig deep just to stay in this one.

    Round 1: Dereck Chisora v Carlos Takam

    Dereck Chisora, to be fair to him, managed to land with a couple late on. He is standing in his corner at the end of the first, looking stunned at what has just happened in the opening three minutes though.

    Takam with a massive opening round.

    A crushing right hook rocks the Chisora head back. Ouch. That will still hurt next week.

  16. Postpublished at 21:44 British Summer Time 28 July 2018

    Chisora superglued to the ropes. Takam attacks again.

  17. Chisora in troublepublished at 21:42 British Summer Time 28 July 2018

    Round one, and a great start from Carlos Takam. Chisora pinned against the ropes as Takam unloads some brutal body shots.

  18. Postpublished at 21:42 British Summer Time 28 July 2018

    Both Dereck Chisora and Carlos Takam are ready for action. This could be explosive.

    A full camp for Carlos Takam, none of this take-the-fight at 10 days as he did against Joshua.

    But that performance has helped give him another big night in Britain.

    Who is your favourite heavyweight of all time and why?

    hobledehoy: Favourite heavyweight of all time has to be Ken Norton.

    John Petrie: Easy to over complicate this. Muhammed Ali stands out above all other heavyweight boxers. Fought at a great time for heavyweight boxing, iconic fights, and justified his title "The Greatest".

  20. Buatsi - the man who turned down Mayweatherpublished at 21:39 British Summer Time 28 July 2018

    Speaking of Buatsi....

    You’d think working with Floyd Mayweather would be a dream come true for most young boxers - but not for Joshua Buatsi, who spoke to BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat earlier this week.

    He was spotted by Floyd Mayweather at the Rio Olympics but decided to stay and box in Britain rather than work with the star in the US. The light-heavyweight is now managed by heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
