Less than four months after Tyson Fury posted a social media message emphatically declaring his retirement, the 34-year-old will be back in the ring for a trilogy fight he could not resist.
“Let’s have it then, ‘Del Boy’,” Fury told veteran Derek Chisora on Twitter, announcing his latest bout with his familiar rival who he has already beaten twice.
Chisora, who had lost his previous three fights before beating 41-year-old Kubrat Pulev via split decision in July 2022, warned: “I am going to physically take what belongs to Tyson Fury and make it mine.”
