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.

And following a couple of online callouts, Chisora, 38, wants to see a deal in writing from Fury’s promoters Frank Warren and Bob Arum.
He said: “Tyson, stop talking s***e, mate. Phone mummy and daddy – mummy’s Frank Warren, daddy is f***ing Bob Arum.

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’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.

ANTHONY JOSHUA has been told he can OUTBOX Oleksandr Usyk in their heavyweight rematch. Joshua was beaten by Usyk last September but faces the Ukrainian pound-for-pound star again on August 20 in Saudi Arabia.

AJ was questioned for trying to outfox the famously slick southpaw, 35, instead of looking for the knockout.
But Dave Coldwell, the mastermind behind Tony Bellew’s fight with Usyk in 2018, claimed there are chinks in the champion’s armour.
And he warned Joshua, 32, that coming out aggressive is actually playing into Usyk’s hands.
Coldwell told talkSPORT: “Normally, with a lot of fighters, there’s always something.

“But when you look at Usyk you don’t see any weaknesses, which makes you focus on every minor detail. I spent hours and hours watching him.
“The majority of his career, everyone’s come at him – that’s what he’s used to; he’s comfortable with that and that’s what his style’s built for.
“If Bellew went at him we’d walk into traps.
“It’s different to AJ, because he’s got the height, the reach, the physicality; the one-punch danger.
“I came across the Michael Hunter fight. It was the first [Usyk] fight I thought, ‘He can be outboxed’, because the first few rounds Hunter was in a negative style that gave him a lot of difficulty.

“It can’t just be negative, because mentally Usyk will tire you out, so you’ve still got to put a thumbprint on him as well.
“So, I almost wanted to mirror what Usyk does to his opponents.
“Bellew’s very, very disciplined, so I knew he was capable, and I also wanted him to land body shots, because I came across something in the amateurs, which nobody talks about – Usyk went down with a body shot.
“When I saw that I thought, ‘There’s the chink’. But he’s very good with his defence, so if you just try and bludgeon him he knows how to cover.”

Coldwell continued: “Marco Huck; Mairis Briedis; these good fighters couldn’t get to grips with him. Bellew’s smart, and hits hard enough to drain you at the same time.
“The game plan was to set traps for Usyk, because he’s more comfortable going backwards. With AJ it’s different, because of his physical attributes.
“If he catches you he’s going to at least knock you off-balance and wear you down – if he uses those physical attributes, which he didn’t really do in that first fight.
“[But] it’s [also] the effort, and the concentration it takes in those first six rounds to stay with him.

“You’re working so hard to stay with him you’re f*****, and then mistakes creep in because you’re fatiguing.
“It’s not that he’s going up in gears. It’s that that’s his game – to outlast you, mentally.”
