The WBC heavyweight champion, outrageous Briton Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) completely confused the fans and boxing commentators with a statement that he would soon return to the ring for a third fight with compatriot Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs). In previous fights, Fury won confidently. The second time and completely ahead of schedule.
And Fury allegedly changed his mentor. For this fight, he will be trained by a colleague in the hall, the middle welterweight Briton Isaac Lowe. The current coach of the champion Sugarhill Steward is not happy with the news: “Good luck with this decision …”
And promoter Bob Arum (Top Rank) is sure that Tyson is just playing around: No Chisora.
And here’s what he says about it
champion father John Fury“As they say, there is no smoke without fire. I think Tyson really wants to do another trilogy after Deontay Wilder and Chisora is the only suitable candidate. To be honest, it seems to me that Tyson promised Derek a fight earlier. I don’t know for sure, but I’m assuming it’s not a duck and the fight will take place.”
“Try to understand one simple thing. Boxing for Tyson is just for fun. Money? He has already earned. You can’t buy it with fees anymore. He’s just doing what he wants to do right now. Does what he likes. And the Chisora trilogy is exactly what he likes. I think that in any case, the fans will be delighted. As for me, the trilogy is a priori cool and interesting. You yourself know that a fight in the heavyweight limit cannot be intermediate. There will be two huge big men in the ring, and one exact blow can determine the winner. Yes, and Derek can not be considered an intermediate opponent. He is a good fighter. Especially if he has a full training, ”says John Fury.
Earlier, promoter Frank Warren shared his opinions and predictions about Usyk-Joshua 2 and Fury-Chisora 3 fights. And promoter Eddie Hearn finally admitted that Joshua is no longer the leader of the heavyweight: “Even though it hurts me.”
