Derek Chisora Reveals Shocking Take on Tyson Fury's Chances Against Usyk: "Nobody Saw This Coming"

Chisora knows what it's like to fight these guys. He's lost to Fury three times - twice by knockout and once by decision back in 2011. He also gave Usyk a tough time when they fought, with the Ukrainian saying it was one of his hardest fights due to Chisora's non-stop pressure.

Fury and Usyk have already fought twice. Usyk won both times and became the undisputed heavyweight champ in their first match. Now Fury wants another shot.

Yesterday, Fury announced he's coming back to boxing and wants to fight Usyk again in 2026. But Chisora doesn't think it's a good idea.

Speaking to talkSPORT Boxing, Chisora said:

"We don't want to see Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. We seen them twice, and the outcome will be the same. We don't want to see it. We don't want to see it. What is Tyson Fury going to do that is different from the last two fights? Nothing. We just want to see Tyson and Anthony Joshua and that's it."

Chisora thinks fans would rather see Fury fight Anthony Joshua instead of Usyk again. He reckons Fury won't do anything different in a third fight, so the result will be the same.

Fury hasn't fought since last December, so he'll need a warm-up fight or two before taking on Usyk again. The proposed date for their third fight is next April.

Meanwhile, Usyk has a big fight coming up later this month. He'll be defending his undisputed title against Daniel Dubois in his second fight as the top dog in the heavyweight division.

As for Chisora, he's got 49 fights under his belt and says he's got one more left in him. The heavyweight division keeps moving, and these fighters keep giving fans something to talk about.
