Tyson Fury will defend his world heavyweight title against Derek Chisora tonight before Juan Estrada will face Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez hours later.
The 'Gypsy King' will make his return to the ring this weekend against former two-time rival Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, having already beaten 'War' twice in both 2011 and 2014 respectively. A win for Fury, who is overwhelming favourite, in his voluntary defence could see him set up an undisputed title clash with Oleksandr Usyk in 2023.
Meanwhile hours after in the US, Estrada will fight for the vacant WBC super flyweight title against Gonzalez in an epic trilogy fight. The pair have already fought twice with the champion losing their first fight in 2012 before avenging the defeat last March.

Fury: “Whoever fights Derek Chisora is in for a f***ing good fight. That’s what we know. That’s what we prepared for. And he was available and ready to rock n’ roll. He stepped up to the plate, and bang, here we are. There’s going to be a throwdown for the fans right before Christmas.
“I’m doing what I love to do. I’m getting paid to do what I love. I take my career very seriously. I’m looking forward to it. I cannot wait to get out there, put on a show and entertain. Come Saturday night, there’s no friendship. There are no friends in business, and this is a business transaction."
Chisora: “I can’t sit here and try to be more aggressive to Tyson and try to say so many bad words because the man I’m looking at right now is giving me an opportunity when nobody wanted to give me an opportunity. For me to sit here and try to talk shit and say so many bad things about a man who is actually giving me food on the table for my kids, I cannot.
“All these guys in the game don’t want me to be on this stage. But, come Saturday, I can guarantee you this: friendship will be out of the door. Me and this big man are going to get it on. I’m not going to try to hold back on anything. Come Saturday, I’m going to war. I want to take what’s his and make it mine.”

Estrada: “It’s been a lot of time. Unfortunately, the pandemic really stopped boxing, so I’m happy. I’m very well prepared. After my last fight, I only had two weeks of rest and then we continued camp at high altitude and I’m very motivated and confident about this fight.
“He [Chocolatito] and I are fighters who do our talking in the ring. Outside we’re respectful, but inside we disrespect each other. We’re colleagues outside of the ring and what we do, we do it in the ring and we’re going to show it in the ring. "
Gonzalez: “I’m super motivated, I’m super happy because we had a good camp with my team. We’re very motivated, we know it’s going to be a great fight against Juan Francisco Estrada, and we hope that the fans of the boxing world can enjoy this fight.
“If you thought the second fight was good, the third fight will be even better because we are prepared better than ever before. I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m very happy, and we’ve done a good job to show that I have a special talent and I’m going to enjoy this with my family and my people.”
