WBC world champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) and veteran heavyweight Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) are set to meet in a controversially received trilogy bout at the 62,850-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, this Saturday, December 3.
Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora 3
Fury and Chisora have fought twice before. In their 2011 clash for the British title, Fury handed Chisora his first professional defeat with a unanimous points decision (118-111, 117-112, 117-112). Their 2014 rematch, a WBO world title eliminator, saw Fury dominate from start to finish, with Chisora retiring on his stool after ten rounds.
The ‘Gypsy King’ returned to fight in the UK this past April for the first time in nearly four years, setting a British record by drawing 94,000 fans to Wembley Stadium, where he knocked out mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte in six rounds.
Fury had attempted to secure fights with unified champion Oleksandr Usyk and British rival Anthony Joshua, but when those bouts failed to materialize, he decided to stay active by offering long-time rival Chisora a third fight.
