WBC champion British heavyweight Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) dreamed of determining the absolute in the heavyweight in the confrontation with the owner of all other belts Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) by the end of the year. He is temporarily unavailable due to injury.
For this reason, Fury agreed to an intermediate fight with compatriot Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) – they will fight on December 3 in London (England). The champion recalls that “Chisora gave Usyk a great fight. And in general! Who is he, this Usyk? No one ever knew anything about him until he beat the “bodybuilder” (as Fury calls Anthony Joshua). At that moment, when he fought with Chisora, it seemed to everyone that he was too small and weak to compete with the “bodybuilder”. And after he beat him, everyone started talking about Usyk, as if he were some kind of killer. No, I don’t agree with that.”
“For me, Chisora and Usyk are on the same level,” says Fury. “And I will prepare for Derek just as hard as I would prepare for Usyk. I would be a complete idiot if I decided to underestimate Derek. If, God forbid, he beats me, then there can be no excuses – neither injury nor underestimation. If he beats, then simply for the reason that he was better on the night of the battle. We will fight. Whether you like it or not. And, believe me, we will make a tough fight, since Chisora is always willing to cut himself, and I am also not used to backing down.
Meanwhile, Chisora revealed Fury’s secret: “He’s actually crazy about Joshua. Yes, it’s love.” And the champion decided to turn to an expert – he wants to buy out the football club.
