Derek denied reports of a possible fight
British heavyweight Derek Chisora denied information about the fight with the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
“I won’t fight [с Фьюри]. These are all rumors. I didn’t get any contracts,” Derek said.
For Fury and Chisora, this could be the third face-to-face confrontation in their careers. Before that, the Gypsy King defeated Derek twice – in 2011 and 2014.
Promoter Eddie Hearn stated that Chisora had already received a contract to fight Fury. The fight was to take place on December 3rd.
Tyson was supposed to fight with Briton Anthony Joshua, but the parties failed to agree on the terms and sign a contract for the fight. Fury’s side says that AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn is to blame for the disruption of the fight.
Tyson’s father, John Fury, said his son is considering three candidates to replace Joshua: Filip Hrgovic, Andy Ruiz and Luis Ortiz.
In the last fight, Chisora defeated Kubrat Pulev and won the vacant WBA International belt. The title of a full-fledged WBA champion belongs to Oleksandr Usyk.
