On Saturday night, Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora go toe-to-toe for the third time, and we’ve got all the details, including the UK start time.
At the start of September, ‘The Gypsy Kung’ dangled the Anthony Joshua fight in front of our eyes, like a carrot on a stick. And, like the optimists we are, we believed that the bout was actually going to come to fruition. But amidst a fog of fake deadlines and misdirection, the WBC Champion wriggled free and gave us a contest that absolutely no one wanted.
Despite beating Chisora in a fight so dull, the crowd booed throughout, Fury has decided to go back over old ground. Queensberry accommodated their client and committed to the domestic PPV clash, which has left them with a mountain to climb.
While the event has sold a respectable 55,000 tickets, that figure is significantly down from the 94,00, who attended the Heavyweight King’s last fight at Wembley Stadium. However, while the main event is a complete mismatch, some fans are still keen to watch their hero set foot back through the ropes, so here’s everything you need to know ahead of the bout this weekend.
