Tyson Fury’s trilogy fight with Derek Chisora eyed for December at Cardiff’s 75,000-seat Principality Stadium


TYSON FURY and Derek Chisora’s trilogy fight is eyed for December at Cardiff’s 75,000-seat Principality Stadium.

Fury twice beat Chisora – in 2011 and then 2014 – before the pair later went on to enjoy a friendship.

But lately, the relationship has soured leading to talk of an unlikely trilogy bout between the two.

According to ESPN, the fight is targeted for December in Wales, where Anthony Joshua has twice headlined.

And it is claimed Goldstar Promotions – the company that handles Fury’s meet-and-greets across the UK – are behind the offer.

That is despite Hall of Fame pair Frank Warren and Bob Arum leading the WBC champion’s career in recent years.

It remains unknown if Fury is still contracted to Arum’s Top Rank stable or Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.

The Gypsy King and Chisora always maintained they had a verbal agreement in place for a third fight together.

But after Chisora picked Joshua and Dillian Whyte to beat Fury, their friendship was no more.

It has led to recent back and forth between the two and Chisora, 38, demanded a contract be sent his way.

He said: “Tyson, stop talking s***e, mate. Phone mummy and daddy – mummy’s Frank Warren, daddy is f***ing Bob Arum.

“Tell them you want to hang out with me, OK? And send me the paperwork bitch.”

But Fury hit back: “I don’t need to speak to anybody.

“I spoke to your management team, we’re all good. Everything is sorted, looking good. Contract be over or a day or so.

“Peace out, you’re getting knocked out.”

Fury, 33, announced his retirement in April after knocking out Dillian Whyte, 34, in April at Wembley Stadium.

But he remains linked with a return to fight Joshua, 32, or Oleksandr Usyk, 35, who rematch on August 20 in Saudi Arabia.

Although Fury appears to have his sights set on old rival Chisora, who he CONFIRMED his comeback will be against.

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 Isaac Lowe, 28, will be his new trainer.
