Fury to defend world heavyweight title against Chisora
The HinduTyson Fury will defend his world heavyweight title in an all-British trilogy fight against Derek Chisora in London on December 3 after the collapse of negotiations for a prospective showdown with Anthony Joshua. The bout against Chisora, whom Fury beat in 2011 and 2014, will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will be the “Gypsy King’s” first outing since a routine sixth-round stoppage of another domestic rival, Dillian Whyte, in April. Fury’s promoter Frank Warren said he was “thrilled” to be putting on a Fury title defence in front of British fans. This brings us to the magnificent Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and a match against an old rival in Derek Chisora.” Warren reiterated Fury’s plan to take on Joshua’s conqueror Oleksandr Usyk in a unification fight early next year.
