Tyson Fury has promised fans his bout with Derek Chisora will see him put in the same amount of danger as if he faced Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed clash.
Fury holds the WBC heavyweight title, and is considered by fans to be the 'lineal' champion of the division, while Usyk has the WBA super, WBO and IBF belts, as well as The Ring magazine title and the less prestigious IBO strap. The pair look set to do battle next year for all of the gold, but the Brit has insisted on taking a fight with Chisora to stay busy before year's end.
And despite having comfortably beaten Chisora twice already in his earlier career, Fury has told fans that they should expect him to be equally challenged in the domestic bust-up. They first fought in 2011 for the British title when they were both undefeated, with Fury winning by unanimous decision before stopping his rival in their 2014 rematch.
