Tyson Fury is set to return to the ring once again, despite previously announcing his retirement, and will take on Derek Chisora for a third time this December. Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has confirmed that the bout is set to take place in early December after a deal was unable to be confirmed with Anthony Joshua.

After Joshua’s second loss to Oleksandr Usyk, it was believed the Ukrainian would then fight Tyson Fury in a bout that would unify all belts, with the winner become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. However, this fight then also fell through after Usyk announced he would be taking a break away from the ring.

The Gypsy King has also previously signalled he would retire with the first suggestions coming after his trilogy against Deontay Wilder and then once again after he beat Dillian Whyte earlier this year. However, he will now return once again to take on his long-time rival whom he has already beaten twice, once in 2011 and again two years later.

“Tyson would’ve had one fight in a year and we always expected that the fight in December would be Oleksandr Usyk but he’s not available - nowI hope that will be going on sometime in February.

“Tyson wants to fight before then and we want to get him out. We got sidetracked with the situation with AJ. I hope that it will be competitive but I just think that Tyson is head and shoulders above all of them. Derek might give him more of a fight than Anthony Joshua - I just think (AJ) is more vulnerable.”

Tyson Fury has also added his own remarks on the situation with Joshua saying: “He didn’t want the fight and didn’t push it and didn’t sign the contract.”
