According to promoter Eddie Hearn (Matchroom Boxing), the third fight between British heavyweights Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and Derek Chisora (33-13, 23 KOs) failed – the organizers planned to sell many times more paid broadcasts than they did.
“Listen, if I give you numbers, you won’t believe me. Say, “Eddie, good pour!” —
winds up Hearn fans. But it’s true, I know them. They sold less than 300 thousand PPVs. What does it mean? And the fact that if Anthony Joshua fought tomorrow and met in the ring with you (referring to a journalist), he would still collect more – at least 500 thousand “
The fight Fury vs Chisora 3 took place on December 3 in London (England). The reigning WBC champion Fury won by technical knockout in the 10th round – this is his third victory over Chisora, and the second in a row ahead of schedule.
Immediately after the fight, the owner of all other belts of the division, Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, entered the ring to the winner. Rumor has it that at the beginning of next year the absolute heavyweight champion will be determined. Fury said: “I want to knock out Usyk quickly, he can’t take more than Chisora.” And the Ukrainian answers him: “Your ass is on fire.”
