Tyson Fury has declared he is no longer friends with Derek Chisora after 'WAR' bet his house on Dillian Whyte knocking him out.
Fury and Chisora have shared a friendship ever since Fury recorded emphatic stoppage victories in their British title clashes back in 2011 and in 2014. Chisora has also shared a two-fight rivalry with Whyte who challenged Fury at Wembley Stadium back in April for his WBC heavyweight crown.
Prior to the fight, Chisora was willing to bet his house on Whyte scoring KO victory in the huge British dust-up having fought both men. “I’m willing to put my house on it. I’m willing to put my house on Dillian Whyte knocking Tyson Fury out,” Chisora said during an appearance on talkSPORT radio. “Look at your faces in the studio! Tyson is my mate and I know he’s listening – Tyson, you’re going to get knocked out.”
In actual fact, Chisora was effectively deemed 'homeless' after Fury put in a dominant display stopping his rival in the sixth round to retain his title. Despite the bet, Chisora was spotted alongside Fury at his after-party to celebrate the high-profile victory. But the 'Gypsy King' believes Chisora wouldn't have made the bet if the pair were truly friends.
“I thought Derek did absolutely fantastic [against Kubrat Pulev]. However, me and Derek Chisora used to be chum buddies. I went to Monaco to support him. I went to Hamburg to support him,” Fury told talkSPORT Fight Night. “Then, as soon as I have a fight he goes, ‘I’ll pick the other guy’.
"So, Derek Chisora can kiss my a*** and if I see him I’m going to punch him in the face. After the fight, he came to the afterparty and said this, that, and the other, made a million excuses. At the end of the day, you don’t do that to your friends.

"If you’re friends with somebody, you back them. You don’t go with the other guy who you don’t like anyway, you go with your friend. After what he did, backing Dillian Whyte to knock me out, having his house on it and all that, how confident he was, we ain’t friends anymore. And when I see you, Derek, you’ve got me to fight.”
Fury jokingly offered Chisora a place to stay after the bet dramatically backfired, but it appears the pair are now more likely to contest a third grudge meeting. The 'Gypsy King' previously included a third instalment with Chisora on his hit-list before the end of his career despite now vowing he has fought for the last time.
Chisora recently defeated Kubrat Pulev to breathe new life into his heavyweight career ending a series of losses that dates back to his last victory over David Price in 2019. It is thought that the 38-year-old is now assessing a whole host of options including a planned meeting against Fury's trilogy rival Wilder or a trilogy of his own against Whyte.
