Tyson Fury owes Piers Morgan £1million after announcing Derek Chisora fight

Tyson Fury is set to earn another big payday by fighting Derek Chisora for the third time, but the heavyweight champion will have to fork out £1million to TV host Piers Morgan.

Heavyweight champion Fury, 34, promised he would hang up his gloves after knocking out Dillian Whyte in April but backtracked on his decision by trying to secure a fight against Anthony Joshua.
