Tyson Fury will face Derek Chisora for the third time on December 3, following the breakdown of discussions for a potential home bout with Anthony Joshua.
The battle against Chisora, whom Fury defeated in 2011 and 2014, will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will be the 34-year-first old’s fight since April’s simple sixth-round stoppage of another domestic opponent, Dillian Whyte.
Frank Warren, Tyson Fury’s promoter, stated, “I am excited to deliver a world championship defense in front of British fans in London. Tyson captivated America throughout his trilogy with Deontay Wilder, and there is also a tremendous demand for his fights from venues around the globe.
After his memorable night at Wembley Stadium in April, Tyson desired to fight in his home country again this year.” This brings us to the spectacular Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a fight against Derek Chisora, an old adversary. Derek, who is also a British fan favorite, has rebuilt himself in recent years, and Tyson has long expressed a desire to face him for the third time.”
Warren reaffirmed Fury’s intention to face Joshua’s conqueror Oleksandr Usyk in a unification bout early next year. The Ukrainian stated that he had no desire to engage in combat until the new year. “Tyson can’t afford to lose this fight, as he has a highly anticipated undisputed bout with Usyk in the new year,” Warren stated.
On the undercard, Daniel Dubois will make his first defense of his version of the WBA title against Kevin Lerena.
