Despite the fact that most viewers were counting on the fight with Usik or Joshua, Tyson Fury made his choice in the direction of Derek Chisora. This moment was quite unexpected, as the boxer had previously said that he planned to retire and retire from the ring for good in order to spend more time with his family and loved ones.
Most of all, everyone was waiting for the “Gypsy King” to fight Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk. After defeating Anthony Joshua, the Ukrainian right in the ring offered Fury to step into the ring with him and fight for the title of the absolute world champion. Fury was ready for such a challenge, but his wish was to fight in 2022. But he was denied because Usik would not be back in the ring until next year.
As time went on, rumors of a fight with Joshua also emerged. If the rumors were to be believed, Anthony was ready to fight in the winter. To date, however, there has been no official announcement from either side.
However, on October 20, Tyson’s promoter himself clarified the situation. He reported that Fury will soon enter the ring. To the surprise of many, his opponent was not Usik or Joshua, but Derek Chisora.
The fight will take place on December 3 at the Tottenham soccer club’s stadium in London. To make watching this fight more interesting you can go to the best betting site in Uganda.
Chisora had 45 fights in his career, 33 of them were wins (23 by TKO), and in 12 fights Derek lost. All interesting statistics with good stats. Also, the fighter has several significant trophies in his collection. Chisora is a British and Commonwealth of Nations champion (2010-2011), European champion (2013-2014), and contender for the world heavyweight title (2012). He also owned several minor titles.
Interestingly, these two fighters have already met twice in the ring. Their first meeting took place in 2011. In that fight, Tyson won by unanimous decision. Fury was really confident enough to outbox his opponent, leaving him no chance, and only by some miracle didn’t knock him out before the last round.
The second time they met was in 2014. The scenario of this fight was very similar to the previous one. Fury again outboxed his opponent, but this time the fight did not last more than 10 rounds, because just after 10 Derek could not continue the fight.
For Chisora, perhaps, this is the last chance to take a rematch with Fury, we’ll know very soon.
