The WBC and lineal heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) and his long-standing rival Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) are set to meet each other for the third time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, December 3
The British rivals first met in July 2011 when Fury claimed a decision win. In their rematch in November 2014, Tyson Fury defeated Dereck Chisora for a second time by corner retirement in the tenth round.
Derek Chisora shared his expectations for the third fight with Tyson Fury. “Fury is a good boxer if he doesn’t mess around. He is good at what he does, and I am good at what I do. Let's see how things turn out. I think Fury was the best fighter the last time I fought him. Now I got better. The last time I fought him, he was on a roll.” Chisora said.
At the same time, Tyson Fury also shared his thoughts about his opponent: “I expect Derek Chisora to do what he always does. And he will do this until he retires. He will show brute strength and determination that no one else has. I will never underestimate a fighter like Chisora because I know that any heavyweight in the top 10 will lose to Derek if they perform badly. The only chance to defeat him is to knock him out. If you underestimate Chisora, you will lose. It is a fact.”
In the co-feature, WBA world champion Daniel Dubois (18-1, 17 KOs) makes a first defense of his belt against South African southpaw Kevin Lerena (28-1, 14 KOs).
