It was announced early this week the bout will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with fans urged to wrap up warm.
Fury believes the fight could be one of many before he retires as the heavyweight indicated he could step into the ring another ten times.
It’s an incredible turnaround from the 34-year-old who retired from the sport earlier this year.
He told Talksport: “I had retirement for four/five months and I didn’t like how it tasted.

“I’m here until the cows come home. I might have another ten fights. The only thing that gets me going is boxing.”
Despite his potential longevity, Fury played down the chances of him ever getting in a ring with Joshua.
The two camps were involved in intense negotiations over several weeks before things fell apart.
And Fury now says he doesn’t ever see it happening.

When asked if he could ever fight AJ, Fury said: “I don’t think so. They’re too hard to work with.
“It’s too difficult and, like I said, you can’t make someone do something they don’t want to do.
“When me and [Deontay] Wilder fought the first time, I said ‘send me the contract over’, it was signed within two days. Bosh bosh, see you in a bit.
“Went over there, did the fight, whatever. When you want to fight somebody, you make the fight happen.”
Fury will be hoping to get a crack at Oleksandr Usyk in 2023, with the Ukrainian holding most of the belts in the heavyweight division.
He’s also indicated a willingness to go head-to-head with fellow Brit Joe Joyce one day. More

The Conservative Party are looking to install a new PM next week after yet another leadership vote.
And in the meantime, Truss will remain at the helm just days after making Jeremy Hunt the new Chancellor of the Exchequer.
She now holds the unenviable record for the briefest time spent in No10 Downing Street.
And boxing superstar Fury couldn’t resist aiming a dig at Truss after confirming he will fight Derek Chisora in December at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Fury claimed after his last fight, a KO win against Dillian Whyte in April, that he was retiring from boxing – again.
But in a joke aimed at Truss, and himself, Fury said the outbound PM’s time in office lasted as long as his retirement did.
The WBC heavyweight champion, referring to himself in the third person, said: “She’s stepped down? Has she?
“That was almost as brief as Tyson Fury’s retirement, that one.”

The weather in London on December 3 last year peaked at 9 degrees in the day, dropping to 6 degrees in the evening.
When Frank Bruno fought Joe Bugner at the old White Hart Lane in October 1987, fighters wrapped themselves in blankets between rounds.
Not too many fans will be bowled over by Fury’s opponent, considering how comfortably the Gypsy King won his first two clashes with Chisora.
But after Joshua refused the fight and Usyk ruled himself out with injury, the 6ft 9in Morecambe giant was short of options.
He announced the show on social media on Thursday morning with a picture of the fight card.
And he added: “LET’S HAVE IT THEN DEL BOY!!!! SEE YOU DECEMBER 3RD LONDON! @SpursOfficial @DerekWarChisora.”

Fury has already beaten Chisora twice before.

However, a bout could not organised due to contractual disagreements not being sorted out before a set deadline passed.
Fury has now moved on to his next potential opponents which Warren has announced.
The 34-year-old will first fight Derek Chisora on December 3, this will be the third fight between the two.
Fury has beaten Chisora on two occasions but he has handed his compatriot a third chance at the WBC heavyweight title.

The fight between the two will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Fury has also announced that he wants to fight Oleksandr Usyk in 2023 for all of the main heavyweight titles.
The Ukrainian boxer has held the IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles since beating Joshua in 2021.
He then successfully defended his titles against AJ in September.

The last potential fight could be against British fighter Joe Joyce in a mandatory defence of his title.
However, Joyce has recently admitted that he would “love to fight” Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas, which could put a dent in the plans.
Fury is undefeated in his career, winning 32 fights and drawing one. More

TYSON FURY has been flaunting his £10,000 winnings after winning a bet with Frank Warren that the Anthony Joshua fight would collapse. The Gypsy King’s promoter revealed this morning that he owed the WBC heavyweight champion that his proposed “Battle of Britain” bout “would be finalised” during the negotiations with AJ.

However, a deal never materialised and Fury will now face Derek Chisora instead on December 3 at Tottenham in a trilogy clash.
That led to the unbeaten boxer landing himself a tidy windfall, and the 6ft 9in star was seen waving around his profits in the air ahead of today’s press conference to promote his fight with Chisora.
Fury said: “I bet that Joshua wouldn’t sign the fight contract. Now, I’ve got £10k. 
“Frank Warren said he would sign it and I said I bet you he won’t. There is the £10k (as he held up the money). It’s tax-free money too. You know where that’s going on the way home, don’t you.”

Warren had explained the terms of their wager to talkSPORT, saying: “I honestly believed it [the fight with AJ] was going to happen. I got to the stage where I thought, we are going to get this over the line. 
“Then Tyson kept saying to me, they are not going to do this. All I was doing, was going back to him every day telling him how negotiations were going.
“However, Tyson was getting fed up with it all. He was right at the end of the day and it cost me £10,000 because of the bet I had with him.
“He was 100 per cent right. He said Joshua will not go for this.”

When asked on the future prospect of a fight with Joshua, Warren added: “No. AJ has got to come back. He’s got to win those fights and I think he is very vulnerable. 
“I am not being disrespectful to him but I wouldn’t be surprised at any fight he loses now. I just think he’s a very readable fighter.”
The Manchester United supporting potential Morecambe owner will find himself at the home of Tottenham Hotspur in December.
That is the venue for his latest fight against Derek Chisora.
It’s also been announced that Daniel Dubois will fight on the undercard.

His last fight was August’s rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk and Joshua’s team were preparing a string of fights to get their man back in contention for another world title shot.
But any plans of that nature have now been shelved, Boxing Scene report.
Joshua is now not expected back in the ring until early 2023 with potential December fights against either Otto Wallin and Chris Arreola not going ahead.
The former WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion is now expected to have a fight in February or March, before a bigger challenge in the summer.

Whyte last fought – and lost – in April earlier this year against Fury.
Deontay Wilder has also been making noises about a potential clash in Africa between himself and AJ.

Fury will now be facing Derek Chisora before the end of the year, and is getting in shape ahead of the clash.
Brit heavyweight Daniel Dubois will take his place on the undercard in a fight at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on December 3. More
