Tyson Fury v Derek Chisora date and venue confirmed for world title fight

Tyson Fury will fight Derek Chisora for a third time in a heavyweight world title clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 3.

Fury declared he would retire from the sport after beating Dillian Whyte in April but made a U-turn and confirmed his plans to return to the ring and push for the undisputed titles. It looked as if Fury may face Chisora earlier this year but after 'WAR' rejected a first offer, he instead looked to fight bitter rival Anthony Joshua.

However that fight collapsed after Joshua missed the deadline to complete the paperwork, which saw Fury's team revive interest in a third meeting with Chisora. It will be the third time that Chisora and Fury have touched gloves with the 'Gypsy King' Fury won by decision in 2011 to pick up the British and Commonwealth titles while the second meeting came three years later with Fury prevailing by stoppage with Chisora retired on his stool in the tenth round.
