Boxing fans express anger at record TV price for Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora

Boxing fans have been left outraged after learning they will have to fork out £26.95 to watch Tyson Fury's voluntary defence against Derek Chisora.

WBC champion Fury will defend his crown in a clash with heavyweight gatekeeper Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 3, in a U-turn from his previous plans to retire. There has been heavy criticism of the fight with Chisora having already lost to the champion twice in 2011 and 2014.

And in another damaging blow to fans, BT Sport has announced fans will be required to pay a UK record £26.95 to purchase the clash on pay-per-view via the BT Sport Box Office channel. Fans have reacted in an angry way on social media, with one writing: "I’m usually one to support fights and buy pay-per-view, but come on, that much for what you’re getting is terrible."
