TYSON FURY is returning to the ring to take part in another trilogy bout – this time against fellow Brit Derek Chisora.
The Gypsy King hasn’t been in the ring since his sixth-round TKO destruction of Dillian Whyte back in April at a sold out Wembley Stadium.
A whopping 94,000 fans, a British record, filled the England football team’s national stadium that night to watch Fury defend his WBC heavyweight crown before announcing his retirement in the ring after.
His retirement didn’t last long, however, as toward the end of the summer he called out Anthony Joshua for a massive money-spinning clash.
Talks failed to materialise, however, and now Fury is on the precipice of finalising a deal to fight Chisora, who beat Kubrat Pulev in exciting fashion in July.
Chisora has clashed with Fury twice before, though, losing the first on points before being stopped in their 2014 sequel.
When is Fury vs Chisora 3?
- Fury is set to fight old rival Chisora on Saturday, December 3.
- The fight was originally scheduled to to take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff Wales.
- But promoter Frank Warren says the event may take place at another arena or stadium in the country now.

What channel will it be on and can it be live streamed?

What has been said?
Fury said: “After his latest antics, I hope it is him.
“Unfortunately for him, if he signs a contract I’m going to have to severely smash his teeth in. We’ll see.”
Fury’s promoter Warren has said since that a deal for the Chisora fight was looking increasingly likely.
“We’ve been struggling to get an opponent but we’ve got the highest-ranked opponent which is Derek Chisora,” he explained.
“That’s where we’ll be going and that’ll be on December 3. We were just trying to find someone and it’s been very difficult.”
