Tyson Fury calls out Derek Chisora for trilogy fight in underwhelming return from ‘retirement’

Tyson Fury appears to be setting his sights on a third fight with Derek Chisora as he brings a swift end to the retirement from boxing he announced earlier this year.

It was a shorter night when they met again in 2014, with Fury turning a unanimous decision victory into a
