Tyson Fury accused of showing "bitterness" towards rival Anthony Joshua

Derek Chisora has slammed Tyson Fury and his team over their "bitterness" regarding Anthony Joshua after they were unable to put a fight together with his long-time rival.

After talks broke down at the 11th hour for a super-fight between Fury and Joshua, Chisora was drafted in to be the heavyweight champion's opponent on December 3. The British duo have already fought twice before, with Fury winning both of their initial bouts comfortably.

Chisora is managed by Joshua's 258 Management firm, and is close friends with the two-time heavyweight champion. He believes that Fury's team are too bitter towards his pal, believing it could be to do with Joshua having more natural likability than his rival who has lost a lot of momentum with fans after announcing a £27 price point for his bout with Chisora.
