Tyson Fury Will Face Chisora for the Third Time in His Boxing Return
Boxing is an exhausting heavy-contact sport, but despite all the risk that comes with it, many professional boxers can’t seem to stay away from the ring. This even applies after they’ve seemingly left it behind to enjoy retirement or pursue other ventures.
We frequently see insiders take their leave, only to return not long after to tie up loose ends and prove themselves against old rivals who might be itching for a showdown. The news we have for you today is one such story. It involves Tyson Fury, a legend with a professional career without losses, and Derek Chisora, a British fan favorite that never disappoints in the ring.
The two have a history, with Fury winning two previous fights against Chisora. This exciting announcement will mark the closing chapter in their trilogy, and likely the last match between the two.
An Attention-Grabber
News of this fight is spreading fast. With Fury and Chisora being long-time rivals, fans of these fighters are excited to see how the final bout of their trilogy plays out. Of course, it’s not just the fans that are excited. There’s always plenty of interest when long-time contenders swing back for a third match, which has garnered the attention of casual viewers and avid bettors alike.
This domestic fight is the perfect event for outright and live betting fans to flex their prediction skills and see how things play out. Fury is determined to win his third fight against Chisora, and he’ll put his best foot forward to achieve another victory. On the other side, the latter has a lot to prove, so an impressive win against the former is bound to do wonders for his reputation.
Fight Details
Since this news is as fresh as they come, things are still a bit barebones in the details. Despite this, the important parts are something we’ve privy to. The fight is set on December, in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This is excellent news for British fans who want to enjoy the event in all its glory from the stands instead of the couch.
Fury’s victories against Chisora in 2011 and 2014 were showstoppers fans couldn’t get enough of, and we don’t doubt this trilogy will be one too. For Fury, this will be the first fight since a routine sixth-round stoppage in April of another domestic rival, Dillian Whyte. We hope he’s prepared for another epic showdown, as viewer excitement is growing by the day in anticipation.
For those familiar with their past bouts, a UK fight is a fitting conclusion to their shared history. Their first showdown happened in Wembley Stadium, and while the venue wasn’t in the cards this time around, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is another excellent venue on their home turf that can support an impressive turnout and give viewers a good show.
In Closing
It’s no secret that Fury has talked up Chisora in the past. The heavyweight lightly praised his rival by mentioning his fight with heavyweight champion Usyk, which ended in a draw. This might not seem like a big deal to most, but in the world of professional boxing, it’s pretty much as good of a compliment as you’re going to get!
Speaking of Usyk, he also hopes to see a fight with Fury by 2023. The former has finished with back-to-back wins over Anthony Joshua for several championship titles, and his next sight is the WBC belt he’d need to face Fury for.
Still, even a powerhouse like Oleksandr Usyk can run into some bumps in the road. The possible champion fight against Fury is a big move career-wise, which leaves room for previous contenders in other championships to step in. With preparation for the fight a priority, this could mean taking a step back and vacating some belts.
