With Fury’s clash with Anthony Joshua falling through, Chisora has emerged as a major candidate to be the next challenger to the WBC heavyweight thrown.
But the Gypsy King has vowed that it won’t end well for Del Boy.
He told iD Boxing: “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.

“We’re going to announce an opponent next week.
“There’s four or five guys in the hat, a couple of southpaws in there, a couple of orthodox so we’ll decide who it’s going to be – there’s a few contracts been sent out to different people.
“We want a good entertaining night. I’m doing a fight in December which I’m not looking past and who knows, I might retire again after it.”
A December 3 bout could take place in Cardiff, and would represent Chisora’s second shot at the WBC crown.

The 38-year-old fought for the belt all the way back in 2012, losing to Vitali Klitschko.
He had already lost his first Fury bout by this point – and went on to lose to the Gypsy King again in 2014.
Chisora recently claimed he was retired from boxing, having beaten Kubrat Pulev in the summer.
But he could return for another shot at glory against Fury.
The Gypsy King had been expected to take on Joshua on December 3, only for negotiations to break down.
Fury said: “He didn’t want the fight and didn’t push it and didn’t sign the contract.

“In my opinion, and this is being brutally honest – lack of b***s from AJ and lack of being assertive.
“If you’re a man, you be assertive with your team and make sure it’s done.”

The Lion-loving German believes Fury will be floored of the jungle if they meet – as he’s sure he has the power needed to KO the heavyweight legend.
Charr claimed the briefly-retired Brit is “scared” of him – despite Fury dispatching Deontay Wilder twice and then Dillian Whyte in his most recent bouts on his way to retaining three world crowns.
And most pundits reckon the Gypsy King nailed it when he suggested the 37-year-old would “need more than a hammer” to beat him.
It comes as plans for a long-awaited clash between Fury and Anthony Joshua collapsed.

But the Gypsy King, 34, remains in training for a comeback fight, probably still  at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and possibly against Derek Chisora on December 3.
And 32-year-old Joshua could return after his second world title defeat to Oleksandr Usyk on December 17.
That’s left Charr attempting to show he too can be the mane attraction.
And he warmed up for his bizarre walk with a lion on a lead by taunting Fury: “Mr Big Giraffe, where is the paper? You didn’t sign.

“You make the same play like Anthony Joshua. I can’t understand. yesterday.”You said you want to fight two guys in one night. I said from you i want five in the night – no problem.
“Send the paper and make the fight, Make it happen.”
Charr also criticised promoter Eddie Hearn for scoffing at the prospect of him taking on Fury.
He said on Instagram: “Eddie Hearn, don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. 
“Go out from our business. You got your chance from p******* [Anthony Joshua] to fight the king, the Gypsy King.
“You had over 20 days. You not signed. Now you want to tell Frank Warren or Tyson Fury who they have to fight.” More

The undefeated fighter’s team originally set a deadline on 5pm on Monday, September 26 but then extended it by a couple of days.
AJ’s promoter Hearn claimed he returned a final revised contract last week but had not heard from the Fury camp.
John and Joshua’s rep appear to be pointing the finger at each other after a December fight in Cardiff never came to fruition.
However, Tyson’s father insists his son is still determined to fight anyone to prove he is still the best boxer in the world.

And the 58-year-old is so keen to support his son that he would even be willing to fight Hearn for free if Joshua signed the contract.
John told the Mirror: “Tyson wants to show the public and the world he’s the number one heavyweight in the world and cement his place in history.
“Diehard AJ fans will follow no matter what. They’d still back him if he couldn’t beat a pork pie.
That’s what fans do and good luck to them, but if they think he has a chance against my son, they’re severely mistaken.

“Two different leagues: AJ is a good fighter; Tyson is a brilliant one. It’s a gulf in class, same for [Oleksandr] Usyk and all.
“Tyson wants all the belts and to have notable scalps along the way. He wants to get them all polished off while he’s at his best. We will make these fights happen.
“I’ll fight Eddie Hearn on the undercard too for the AJ fight. I’ll do that for free! If they sign the contract, I’ll box Eddie Hearn on the undercard for free!” More

The WBC heavyweight king offered AJ 40 per cent of their potential purse, on the back of two Oleksandr Usyk losses.
But he grew frustrated with Team AJ not returning a final contract signed and sealed and is now set to move on and face Derek Chisora.
At Doncaster racetrack to watch brother Roman make his pro boxing debut on Saturday night, Fury, 34, told Seconds Out: “The offer was 60-40 and they had the contracts for two weeks and still didn’t sign it.
“They’ve blamed ‘commercial reasons’ whatever the f*** that means.

“If you’re going to let a sponsor get in the way of the biggest fight in British boxing history, then you need to regroup.
“It was a very serious offer because if I was not serious I would not have sent him the offer and the contract.
“They always will find a reason not to fight the Gypsy King.
“I would have gone through him like a hot knife through butter, inside three or four rounds.”

Fury convinced his BT Sport broadcasters to negotiate a shared show with 32-year-old AJ’s Dazn backers.
But then he twice set short deadlines that gave Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn ideal excuses to walk away.
Fury said: “If the fighters agree the purse and the TV companies agree then it should be on.
“I am an elite No1 heavyweight world champion who makes a lot of money with every fight and when they blame ‘commercial rights’ I have absolutely no clue what they mean.
“If I had given them a deadline of two years they still wouldn’t have made the fight.
“This was the Tyson Fury show but they could not come along and play ball, because their egos are too big.

“He has to go back into the wilderness and try to rebuild to fight the Gypsy King.”
And now Fury believes boxing fans will be left disappointed with no Battle of Britain showdown.
Asked if he thinks it will ever happen, he told Behind The Gloves: “Nah. I’ve tried to make this fight for about four years and there’s always been something stopping it.
“If they’re not gonna fight, they’re not gonna fight, I’m not gonna waste any more time.”
Fury – who hinted at a fourth fight with Deontay Wilder – confessed he will need to seek some support when he does eventually call it a day and retire for good.
He added: “I think I’m gonna need mental help to let go of boxing.
I want to be out of boxingTyson Fury
“I’m boxing because I feel I need to box to keep me sane.
“I want to be out of boxing. I can’t let it go.
“It scares me to think, ‘How long will I have to keep doing this?'”
Fury refused to comment on Conor Benn’s failed drug tests that scuppered Saturday’s planned showdown with Chris Eubank Jr.
But he could not stop himself aiming a dig at Benn’s promoter Hearn whose Matchroom firm was holding the fight.
He said: “I don’t get involved in other peoples’ business but it’s another stink show for Matchroom, another one bites the dust.
“Their full stable’s down the toilet, they’ve all been beaten. Katie Taylor’s holding the stable up.

“But you will never see me jump on the bandwagon because it’s in fashion.

Usyk told Parimatch: “I was thinking about returning to cruiserweight and getting a few more of the world belts.

“It’s not hard to fight with these giants, but it’s really hard to eat all the time.”
Usyk added: “And now I work much more than I did as a cruiserweight, particularly in the training camps.
“I had to swim ten kilometers and train hard. At this moment I just want to stop and take a rest.
“A half of a year of training is hard work. I didn’t see my family for such a long time, I didn’t see my wife, children or anyone.”

Fury did, however, say Joyce beats Anthony Joshua and WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk.
Joyce will be a worthy challenger for any of the top heavyweights.
