Tyson Fury has most recently been linked to a fight with Derek Chisora but has now called for a fight with another heavyweight.

The WBC champion last fought in the summer to defeat Dillian Whyte in a mandatory defeat, winning with a sixth-round knockout. 

In the immediate aftermath of his win he declared he would retire, something he has done on several occasions again since. 

However, he has then entertained the idea of numerous other bouts. Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, and Mahmoud Charr have all been put forward as potential candidates for his next fight, and while Chisora is the most prominent name this week, Fury has now turned his attention to another man.

That fighter is Chris Healey, who possesses the Central Area heavyweight title, which he won last year. The 34-year-old Briton fought and beat Danny Whitaker in a rematch lasting 10 rounds.

Speaking on his Instagram account, Fury said: "I’ve won every single belt in boxing, apart from one belt, and that belt is the Central Area heavyweight championship of Britain.

"So I’m calling out whoever’s the Central Area heavyweight champion. I’m calling you out, cause that’s my belt! I want it! I haven’t got it! It’s the only belt that I haven’t won and I want it. I’m coming for whoever you are. Come on!”
