Tyson Fury is likely to defend his WBC heavyweight title against Derek Chisora on December 3 before setting his sights on an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
In recent weeks, Fury has been linked to Usyk and Anthony Joshua, but it now appears that he will renew hostilities with Chisora after defeating the veteran in 2011 and 2014.
Fury became the first fighter to defeat Chisora when the pair met for British honours over ten years ago.
Despite the one-sidedness of the contest, the heavyweight rivals were once again thrown together three years later with Fury fighting southpaw for large portions before Chisora’s corner rescued their man. Now they’re set to do it again.
“We’ve been struggling to get an opponent, but we’ve got the highest-ranked opponent which is Dereck Chisora,” said Warren when apeaking to IFL TV.
“That’s where we’ll be going and that’ll be on December 3. We were just trying to find someone, and it’s been very difficult. What it’s all about is that Tyson will have had one fight in a year and we always expected the fight in December would have been Usyk, but Usyk wasn’t available.”
