Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora are once again in talks over a trilogy fight, which is likely to take place on 3 December, promoter Frank Warren has said.<\/p>\n
Fury last month offered fellow Briton Anthony Joshua a shot at his WBC heavyweight title, but negotiations ultimately collapsed as the long-awaited heavyweight clash slipped away as it did in 2021.<\/p>\n
As reported by The Independent<\/em> in August, Fury had been in talks with former opponent Chisora prior to offering \u201cAJ\u201d a shot at the WBC belt. According to Fury\u2019s promoter Warren, those talks have resumed, and a 3 December trilogy fight is likely.<\/p>\n \u201cThat will be on 3 December,\u201d Warren told iFL TV. \u201cWe were just trying to find someone, it was quite difficult.<\/p>\n \u201cWe always expected the fight in December would be [against Oleksandr] Usyk, but Usyk wasn\u2019t available. Now that looks like, I hope, it\u2019ll be going on some time in February. Tyson wants to fight before then.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not gonna disregard Derek Chisora, but [Fury] fights Chisora and if he comes through that then we\u2019ve got the big one. That\u2019s really what it\u2019s all been about this year. Obviously we got distracted with the situation with AJ.\u201d<\/p>\n Fury, 34, has already fought and beaten compatriot Chisora, 38, twice. The \u201cGypsy King\u201d won on points in 2011 before stopping Chisora in the 10th round in 2014.<\/p>\n Despite those results and the one-sided nature of the rematch, Warren said: \u201cI actually think Derek may even end up giving a better fight than AJ [would].<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not being disrespectful to [Joshua], I just think he\u2019s more vulnerable. [Chisora] is a warrior, isn\u2019t he? He\u2019s gonna keep trying and he\u2019s gonna give all he\u2019s got. Anything can happen in boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n Tyson Fury\u2019s UK promoter Frank Warren<\/p>\n Warren added that an announcement around a venue will come in due course, with Cardiff\u2019s Principality Stadium rumoured to be hosting the bout.<\/p>\n Fury (32-0-1, 23 knockouts) last fought in April, knocking out Dillian Whyte at London\u2019s Wembley Stadium to retain the WBC title.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) last competed in July, narrowly outpointing Kubrat Pulev at the O2 Arena in London to halt a three-fight losing streak and avenge a 2016 defeat by the Bulgarian.<\/p>\n After WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight title holder Usyk outpointed Joshua in August \u2013 for the second time in 11 months \u2013 it was expected that the unbeaten Ukrainian would next face Fury, who is also undefeated, to crown an undisputed champion. Usyk, 35, will not be ready in time for a December date with Fury, however.<\/p>\nRecommended<\/h3>\n
