The world’s greatest heavyweight is back in action in a match few people cry out for. Today Tyson Fury takes on Derek Chisora and risks his WBC heavyweight title.
This is the third time the two have met. The first time, in 2011, Fury won an easy decision. The second fight in 2014 was an even more dominating performance from The Gypsy King; who won by resigning.
With both men getting closer to their 40s, it’s unlikely either man has many more big fights ahead of him. Many viewers will hope that Fury, as expected, comes through this fight without incident and retains his title to set up an undisputed heavyweight fight between himself and Olexandr Usyk. However, we’ll see if Chisora is able to play spoilers.
The event will take place in London, England and will begin at 12pm ET. The main event is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. ET. You can watch the fight on ESPN+ (US), BT Sport Box Office (UK) and TSN.ca (CA).
