It looks like boxing fans will hear the official announcement of the fight this or next week Tyson Fury against Derek Chisora III for the WBC heavyweight title. A rather unexpected opinion about the reasons for organizing this duel was expressed by the famous American journalist Max Kellerman.
“Fury vs. Chisora ​​trilogy... Derek is a good fighter, he recently beat a strong Kubrat Pulev, but Fury is a heavyweight champion and the only reason he is fighting a third time with a twice defeated Chisora ​​is because on in fact, it was not possible to organize more significant battles, ”said Kellerman.
“Oleksandr Usyk does not yet want to fight Fury or is not ready for him. Representatives of Anthony Joshua also do not want to fight Fury today, and I don’t blame them for this either, ”added the American.
Negotiations about Fury's fight with IBF, WBA and WBO world champion Usyk did not go beyond the initial stage. The matter came much closer to organizing a fight with Joshua, but in the end the parties did not agree.
“We were told that the negotiations had expired. We sent back our version of the contract signed for the fight, and then we heard that the fight was no longer relevant. We have received an offer for Fury's third fight with Derek Chisora," Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn said earlier this week.
Today, Frank Warren, Fury's co-promoter, sharply criticized AJ's side for his behavior during negotiations and confirmed the imminent announcement of Fury vs. Chisora ​​III.
