Only with BILDplus! Fury vs. Chisora: The hottest fight of the year
Actually, another “Battle of Britain” was planned for December 3rd. The boxing world was looking forward to the mega fight with Anthony Joshua (33), but in the end the fight burst. The reason: rights problems with the broadcasting stations BT, ESPN and DAZN.
Then the crazy turn! Tyson Fury makes his boxing comeback against Dereck Chisora. After 2011 and 2014, this is the third meeting between the two heavyweights. In 2011, Fury won unanimously after twelve rounds, then in 2014 prematurely because Chisora gave up.
If Fury wins the hit on Saturday, the fight with Oleksandr Usyk (35/IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO world champion) could follow.
Fury’s boxing promoter Frank Warren (70): “We always thought that December’s fight was against Oleksandr Usyk (IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO world champion, ed.), but he is not available. Now I hope that fight happens sometime in February.”
But: “I rate Derek Chisora as highly as Usyk. I will train for Derek as hard as anyone else in the world. I’d have to be an idiot not to do that,” Fury explained.
