Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora will do battle in an odd heavyweight trilogy in London later this year after talks between Fury and Anthony Joshua broke down.
Chisora, who is part of Joshua's 258 Management stable, has reaped the benefits of that super-fight falling apart at the last moment as he earns a major payday and a late-career opportunity at the world heavyweight title. However, Fury will be viewing the December bout as more of a tune-up as he looks to face Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed crown early next year.
Fans have been vocal with their dislike of the fight, given that Chisora's recent points win over Kubrat Pulev was his first in almost three years, and snapped a three-fight losing skid. He has already lost twice to Fury during the pair's earlier careers, and is now considered to be past his prime.
