WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury faced off with Derek Chisora at the final press conference for their clash Saturday night at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in front of an expected sold-out crowd of roughly 70,000. ESPN+ will stream the fight is the U.S.
Tyson Fury: “I’m doing what I love to do. I’m getting paid to do what I love. I take my career very seriously. I’m looking forward to it. I cannot wait to get out there, put on a show and entertain. Come Saturday night, there’s no friendship. There are no friends in business, and this is a business transaction. So, we’re going to go in there, punch the f**k out of each other, and then afterward we can have a nice little sandwich, a nice cup of tea, whatever he wants. Not a problem. But while we’re in there, we’re in fight mode. We’re going to put on a great show.”
Derek Chisora: “I can’t sit here and try to be more aggressive to Tyson and try to say so many bad words because the man I’m looking at right now is giving me an opportunity when nobody wanted to give me an opportunity. He called me up and he said to me, ‘I want to fight you. I want to give you a big payday.’ And I said, ‘Yes. Let’s make it happen.’ For me to sit here and try to talk shit and say so many bad things about a man who is actually giving me food on the table for my kids, I cannot.”
I suspected that Tyson Fury would win but now I KNOW Fury is going to win. Not necessarily because of his last 2 wins against this man. Chisora basically said he’s happy to be getting a payday so he will likely fight as such.
Agreed.
Yep, you are right.
Yup, he took a bag, and doesn’t care if anyone knows. No interest in watching this fight, I’ll read the result and watch the highlight if worthwhile.
I think we know who wins the fashion stakes
Oh well, chisora its going to get another brutal k.o. Loss and a nice check too!
Should be entertaining.
Chisora is usually in good fights. And happy to see excellent/sold out numbers in the stadium
This fight wasn’t necessary but i will watch it still. Hopefully the right Chisora shows up at fight night !
I don’t know, man, I’ve got this funny feeling Tyson is ripe for the picking. He’s gone to the well too many times in recent fights and sooner or later that chin of his will let him down. Chisora has nothing to lose, so he might as well go for broke.
Listening to this guy, ya have to know he does not expect to win this, he is there for the money. He Chisoro, lost 2 times to Parker, who was stopped by Joyce, he was also knocked cold by Whyte. HTH does that make him right for a title shot?
Derek Chisora Sounds like he just thankful for the paycheck and has zero interest in winning the fight.
Del Boy, going all out!!
He has nothing to lose, this heavyweight fight should be more exciting than Wilder vs Helenius.
Usyk will be in attendance, so this should make the whole event more interesting.
