Tyson Fury reaches agreement to fight familiar opponent after Anthony Joshua talks collapse

After talks to fight Anthony Joshua as his next opponent collapsed, Tyson Fury appears to have found a new opponent with Derek Chisora seemingly set for a third clash with the self-styled Gypsy King.

The Sun report the fight will take place in Cardiff on the same date as the Joshua fight, with the WBC Champion keen to return to the ring before Christmas. The fight will be dubbed 'Battle at the Castle' in reference to Cardiff Castle and reminiscent of a recent WWE event which took place in the city.

Fury remains undefeated while Chisora has had a long and storied career which has seen 45 fights, with 33 wins and 12 losses. Two of those defeats have come at the hands of Fury, with the first of those coming at Wembley Arena in 2011 before a second win in 2014 coming just 12 months before he became world champion with a win against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
