Many have slammed the fight at Tottenham’s 62,000-seat stadium as nothing more than a paydays for the pair of pals.
But Chisora, 38, told the Daily Mail: “Tyson is not going with me because we’re friends but because he knows I always come to fight.
“Win or lose there’s no doubt that together we will give the fans a great night. We’ve proved that before.”
Much has changed since the two last shared the ring in London.
Fury, 34, has twice reigned as world heavyweight champion, beating Wladimir Klitschko, 46, and Deontay Wilder, 37, for the honour.

But that recently came against Kubrat Pulev, 41, in a July barnburner and Chisora claims he is better than ever.
He said: “Tyson is extremely agile for 6ft 9in. Of course he’s dangerous, we both are.
“But right now, as well as him, I’m the best boxer I’ve ever been. We’ve both discovered the older you get the more you understand boxing.
“Technically the two of us are the best we will ever be, even though we are not as young as we used to be.
“Tyson’s in his 30s too but he wouldn’t be world champion if he wasn’t so good technically.”
Chisora has nothing to lose when the bell rings against Fury and said: “I have no regrets. None.
“Why should I? My kids are happy. I love them and my wife and I love to box, win or lose.
“If it’s to be lose this time, I will collect my money and go home, to be happy with my family, smoking a cigar on my way out of the arena. Be happy for me. ”
