Tyson Fury CONFIRMS boxing comeback for Derek Chisora trilogy and claims featherweight Isaac Lowe will be new coach


TYSON FURY has CONFIRMED he will return to boxing for a trilogy with Derek Chisora and claimed Isaac Lowe will be his new coach.

The British boxing legend announced his retirement in April after knocking out Dillian Whyte.

Tyson Fury claims Isaac Lowe will be his coach for a trilogy with Derek Chisora

But Fury has had a hard time convincing anyone his fighting days are up, especially with Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk waiting in the wings.

Although the Gypsy King appears to have his sights set on old rival Chisora, who he beat in 2011 and 2014, as opposed to AJ or Usyk.

He said: “I’ve decided to come back to boxing because I can be the first heavyweight champion in history to have two trilogies.

“One with Deontay Wilder and a second one with Derek Chisora. I always said I’d fight Derek Chisora at the end of my career.

“And here we are, breaking all records again, setting precedents.”

Fury, a known boxing historian, was not quite on the money, as Muhammad Ali had trilogies with Ken Norton and Joe Frazier.

Evander Holyfield also had three-fight series with Riddick Bowe and John Ruiz.

Fury, who famously enjoys fooling the media, also made another surprise announcement in claiming featherweight Lowe will be his new trainer.

The WBC champion has been cornered by his uncle Peter, Ben Davison and SugarHill Steward in the past.

But Fury, 33, said: “Why I’ve chosen Isaac Lowe as my trainer is because, when I was with Peter, Isaac was there.

“When I was with Ben, Isaac’s always been there and when I was with SugarHill, Isaac’s always been there.

“He’s always given me information, he knows me better than anybody on the planet and we’re a great team.

“We’ve always been together and we’re going to finish this out together. We’ve always worked very well together.

“And here we are, about to take on a massive, massive event.”

Lowe, 28, added: “I’m looking forward to it. It’s a new challenge for me and I’ve been with you all your career and I think I can put something new to it.

I’ve decided to come back to boxing because I can be the first heavyweight champion in history to have two trilogies. One with Deontay Wilder and a second one with Derek Chisora.

“I’m looking forward to it. It’s a tough task but something to look forward to going forward.”

Lowe has 21 wins, three draws and two losses in his own career, recently facing back-to-back defeat.

Fury meanwhile claimed he would make a comeback to face either Joshua, 32, or Usyk, 35, but wanted £500MILLION to do so.

He then backtracked and claimed if AJ wins the August 20 rematch in Saudi Arabia, he will fight him for FREE on non pay-per-view.

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren then revealed he has held talks for the Gypsy King to possibly challenge Usyk for the undisputed crown.

But the man himself sent out an X-rated message to former friend-turned foe Chisora, 38, who recently beat Kubrat Pulev, 41.

Fury said: “This one goes out to Derek ‘The s***house’ Chisora; you’re running Derek, from the trilogy.

“You call yourself ‘War’ but you should call yourself chicken because you’re running from the trilogy and from a career-high pay day.

“Get that f***ing contract signed.”
