The big day has arrived. Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora face off this Saturday (around 10pm) at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London with a World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight title fight on the line.
This is the most anticipated match in Great Britain, as it pits the two biggest stars against each other. ‘Gypsy King’ is expected to complete a winning trilogy about a 38-year-old opponent he had comfortably defeated in 2011 and 2014.
The bout will be Fury’s first fight since knocking out countryman Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium in April, where he decided to take a temporary retirement as he promised his wife he would.
This will be his third defense of the sceptre. He defeated Deontay Wilder in October 2021 to retain the belt for the first time and was able to retain it for the second time with his victory over Whyte. Now he seeks to extend his hegemony in a category, the heavyweight, where only one fight has eluded him, declared void in 2018, also against Deontay Wilder, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
give up sex
At Thursday’s press conference, Fury said he was “in good shape, in good shape, ready to rock and roll” and would be happy to fight every month of the year. “I train very hard and I respect all the opponents I have faced. I give 110% every time I’m in the gym, I trained for nine weeks for this fight, I didn’t have sex for six weeksFury admitted.
In front of him he will have a fierce rival, his compatriot Dereck Chisora, a veteran boxer who, at the age of 39, is looking to achieve the most brilliant victory of his career. and he came to the fight in a good moment of form, since last July he defeated another important name of this weight like Kubrat Pulev in a fight for the world heavyweight title of the World Boxing Association.
It was his first win after three consecutive losses, one against Oleksandr Usyk and two more against Joseph Parker. His record as a professional is not as bright as Fury’s, as he has 33 wins (23 by KO) and 12 losses, but he is a dangerous opponent with the ability to surprise.
Chisora assured in the preview that he will go to war and promised that it will be “electric. I want to take what is yours and make it mine. Physical and mental” and promised that “it won’t stink, it’ll be a great fight.” He also revealed that he and Fury made a bet, for no money, which would become apparent to everyone after the fight.
waste on the horizon
Despite the strong demand for tickets, with an expected capacity of 60,000 fans, the battle this is the path to the highly anticipated unification bout with WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO champion, Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury’s promoter, Bob Arum, told reporters that a unification fight with Usyk is likely next, unless there is a major upset.
“I don’t see any reason why Usyk’s fight with Tyson Fury didn’t go ahead,” Arum said. “This is the next fight, unless Mr. Chisora strikes”
