Heavyweight king Tyson Fury has been on a rollercoaster ride to superstardom during his illustrious boxing career.
But his trilogy against American heavyweight Deontay Wilder in the United States in recent years has catapulted him into the very top echelons of the sport, both in terms of pedigree and cross-Atlantic fame.
Fury was set to step into the ring on Saturday, December 3 for what would have been his biggest-profile fight in this country against Anthony Joshua, however after 'AJ' withdrew from the contest back in December, the self-styled Gypsy King's camp had to find a new opponent.

Up stepped Londoner Derek Chisora, who will go toe to toe against the WBC heavyweight champion for the third time in his career. Fury, 34, has won the previous two fights, which took place in 2011 and 2014.
Fury has gone from strength to strength since his return to the ring in 2018, earning millions with a number of high-profile showings. He is reported to have earned £2million for his third fight against Wilder, while an appearance in the WWE against Braun Strowman was said to be worth an eye-watering £12million.
Fury fought fellow Brit Dillian Whyte at Wembley back in April and is said to have earned £29.3million for that showdown alone. The bout against Chisora on Saturday night will see him pocket a cool £21million, according to Sports Zion. Chisora will take home £3.1m. The purse will be added to an 80:20 split for pay-per-view revenue, with the fight being shown on BT Sport Box Office for a record fee of £26.95.
