Tyson Fury says Derek Chisora is ‘every bit as dangerous’ as Oleksandr Usyk as rivals prepare for December trilogy fight

TYSON FURY claims Derek Chisora is as dangerous as heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

The Gyspy King is close to finalising a deal with Chisora to complete their trilogy.

Tyson Fury has claimed Derek Chisora is as dangerous as Oleksandr Usyk

Usyk defeated Chisora via unanimous decision in 2010

Fury beat Del Boy in 2011 and 2014 but believes he is still one of the toughest opponents he could face.

But the Brit refused to confirm it is Chisora he will face in Cardiff on December 3.

Fury told Secondsout: “In my opinion Chisora at least got a draw with Oleksandr Usyk, so I see Chisora as every bit as dangerous as Usyk – if it is Chisora.

“I thought Chisora deserved a draw at minimum. Chisora is no pushover. If you’re not on your A-game, Derek will beat you.

“There’s a few southpaws that I’m looking at, which would obviously help.”

Usyk beat Chisora in convincing fashion in 2020 via unanimous decision.

The judges scored the bout 115-113, 115-113, and 117-111 in the Ukranian’s favour, with Usyk going on to beat Anthony Joshua twice.

Unlike Chisora, who boasts an 33-12 record with three defeats in his last four bouts, Usyk is unbeaten.

Chisora has also lost twice to Dillian Whyte in 2016 and 2018 – another fighter Fury beat easily this year in front of a record crowd at Wembley.

Fury hopes to face Chisora after their summer of feuding, which involved slinging insults at one another after a proposed fight fell through.

Speaking about the potential match-up, Fury said: “After his latest antics, I hope it is him.

“Unfortunately for him, if he signs a contract I’m going to have to severely smash his teeth in. We’ll see.”

Fury’s promoter Warren has said since that a deal for the Chisora fight was looking increasingly likely.

“We’ve been struggling to get an opponent but we’ve got the highest-ranked opponent which is Derek Chisora.

“That’s where we’ll be going and that’ll be on December 3. We were just trying to find someone and it’s been very difficult.”
