The day before in London (England), the WBC heavyweight champion Briton Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) and his compatriot Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) held a final press conference before their third fight, which will take place on December 3rd.
Except for the fact that Tyson tried to pierce the opponent with his eyes, everything went decorously and nobly.
“I do what I love and get paid for it,” boasted fury. “I take my career very seriously. I’m looking forward to the fight. I just can’t wait to get in the ring and put on a show and have fun. There will be no friendship on Saturday. There are no friends in this business. So we’ll go out and beat the crap out of each other, and then when the dust settles, we can sharpen a little sandwich, have a good cup of tea, whatever he wants. No problem. But in the ring we will fight. And we’ll put on a great show.”
“I can’t sit here and try to be more aggressive with Tyson, try to throw mud at him, because the person I’m looking at now gave me an opportunity when no one else wanted to do it,” he said. Chisora. “He called me and said: “I want to fight you. I want to give you good money.” And I said, “Yeah, let’s do it.” So I just can’t sit here and say nasty things about the person who gives my kids food to eat at home.”
