On December 3 in London (England), the age-old and popular local heavyweight gatekeeper Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) will fight the WBC champion compatriot Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs).
The fighters had previously met twice, Fury confidently defeated Chisora (the second time and completely ahead of schedule).
The champion first tried to negotiate a fight with compatriot Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), but negotiations stalled. Interestingly, Joshua and Chisora have the same management team – 258 management.
Derek is great
troll Opponent: “Honestly? I’m sure Fury is crazy about Joshua. Yes, it’s definitely love. After all, Anthony lives in his head. Tyson wakes up with thoughts of Joshua and goes to bed with them. After all, he constantly only talks about him: “bodybuilder”, “instructor in the sports hall” and all that. I think he even wakes up at night with thoughts like “How is my AJ?”
Chisora is sure that Fury could very well have agreed with Joshua if he had not insisted on a fight in December: “If it was, say, February, then they would definitely have agreed. You must understand that Joshua has a lot of sponsorship and other commitments. And there are clearly spelled out a lot of little things: what needs to be done, when and how. And when they saw that they couldn’t keep up with the deadlines, they simply withdrew from the negotiations.”
Fury himself believes that “Joshua was really ready to accept my challenge, but then he changed his mind.” And a little earlier, Chisora spoke about Tyson’s “trickery” in their first fight – he allegedly really cheated.
