Tyson Fury's promoter defends the choice of Derek Chisora as his next opponent

Derek Chisora has been described as a ‘credible heavyweight’ ahead of December’s world heavyweight title fight against Tyson Fury.

That’s the opinion of Todd DuBoef, Fury’s US promoter.

The Gypsy King will defend his WBC belt against Del Boy following the cancellation of talks with Anthony Joshua.

It will be their third contest, having previously fought before in 2011 and 2014, with Fury winning on both occasions thus far.

I think if you asked anybody on the street everybody would want to see Fury vs Usyk and then probably if not even more, they wanted to see Fury and AJ.

“But he’s a young guy still and he wants to stay active. Even if he says he’s retiring or not retiring, or whatever he’s doing, you’re always going to be kept on your toes, right? I think he wants to have a fight, if it’s Chisora, it’s Chisora.

“I think to get Tyson back in the ring is a great thing and Chisora is a credible heavyweight and comes from the region, it makes sense. I don’t think anyone is saying ‘hey, this was the AJ fight or Usyk fight’ those were obviously the first targeted matches and obviously you have to go find who’s next depending on timing and availability.

“Tyson is Tyson, to get him back in the ring and to create a great event around him is always good. Wembley was amazing it was one of the most memorable nights I’ve had in my thirty years in boxing and to create that electricity one more time
