Tyson Fury is the reigning WBC heavyweight champion
It has been confirmed the victor will earn themselves a spot in the top 40 of the WBC’s cruiserweight rankings.
Chisora, who came up short against Tommy‘s brother Tyson Fury for the WBC heavyweight title in December of last year, is helping to promote Paul’s Middle Eastern dust-up.
Yet despite his affiliation with the event, he was quick to condemn the governing body’s decision to hand a ranking position to the winner.
Speaking to The Mail, he said: “Do you know what, if he gets a ranking with the WBC, I personally think everybody in the WBC should come out of the rankings and be in another federation.
“Everyone should just drop the WBC and say, ‘I’m not fighting for it anymore’. That’s not fair.
“There’s other boxers who have been slaving themselves, making weight, fighting and because he’s boxed two fighters they give him a WBC ranking? No, it’s unfair.
“If they do that, I urge everyone in the WBC rankings – drop the belts, who cares?
“Belts do not pay the bills for most fighters.

“As Mike Tyson says, it’s garbage. Most of it is garbage to be honest with you.”
Fury will be the first recognised professional boxer Paul has faced following wins over YouTuber AnEsonGib, basketball player Nate Robinson and MMA trio Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva.
Meanwhile, Fury is 8-0 but has yet to fight anybody of note.
The bout was scheduled twice before but never materialised due to Fury pulling out on both occasions.
In 2021, he withdrew because of injury and illness.
Then last year visa issues forced him to pass up the opportunity once more.

There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. An example of this is an uppercut, which requires tremendous force. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are also various punching combinations. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. He raises his leg when he is hit with a kick and then moves away from the opponent. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the attack. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.
Knees
To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It determines his position and the direction he will face. Boxers have many options for stances. These are the most popular:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This means changing your speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. Depending on what punch is being thrown, the speed of rotation varies.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
