The third fight between Derek and Tyson will take place on December 3
Promoter Eddie Hearn commented on the upcoming fight of the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury against Derek Chisora.
“Derek is my friend, I organized his fights, so I don’t want to criticize him. I will say that if they had not fought before, then this would not be the worst choice in the world. This is much better than picking Manuel Charr, who Team Fury wanted to fight. But they were negotiating with both Chisora and Anthony Joshua at the same time.”
“It took eight weeks to close the deal for this fight. It took a long time. I was glad that Derek got this opportunity. I understand that Fury’s third fight with Chisora is not in demand. But I know that Derek will do his best and this fight will be interesting.”
The third fight between Chisora and Fury will take place on December 3 in London. Tyson has previously defeated Derek twice, in 2011 and 2014.
Chisora said he believes in his victory over Fury. WBA / WBO / IBF / IBO heavyweight champion Alexander Usyk called Fury’s upcoming fight with Chisora ”ridiculous”.
