Tyson Fury's boxing history lets him down as he makes false heavyweight boast

Tyson Fury made an error by claiming he is the first heavyweight to take two trilogy fights ahead of his third meeting with Derek Chisora.

The 'Gypsy King' has elected to halt his retirement plans and will make a voluntary defence of his WBC crown against Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday. It will be a second trilogy bout for the British star having already fought 'WAR' in two wins back in 2011 and 2014.

Fury has already successfully come out of a trilogy on top having defeated Deontay Wilder in a third meeting last October, to add to his previous win against the 'Bronze Bomber'. In the build-up to the clash, Fury has claimed he is the only one in history to record the feat, but unfortunately others have already completed the double set.
