*** HIGHLIGHTS! Watch Fury Finish Chisora Late In Trilogy Fight ***
With an undisputed title fight against Oleksandr Usyk on the horizon, WBC Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, looks to close 2022 strong this afternoon (Sat., Dec. 3, 2022) against indefatigable veteran, Derek Chisora, inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
MMAmania.com will deliver LIVE coverage of today’s main event below. The ESPN+ streaming broadcast (watch it here) kicks off at 1 p.m. ET, with Fury and Chisora likely making the walk closer to 4 p.m ET.
“The Gypsy King” and “Del Boy” have met twice before. A fresh-faced Fury out-warred an overweight Chisora in 2011, then stopped him in 10 rounds when they met three years later. Chisora is coming off arguably the biggest win of his career, having narrowly edged out two-time former title challenger, Kubrat Pulev, in July, but few expect the third go-round to go better for him.
The undercard does feature a pair of genuinely interesting tussles, however. Murderous puncher Daniel Dubois defends his secondary WBA Heavyweight title against former Cruiserweight standout, Kevin Lerena, and undefeated Lightweight, Denys Berinchyk, takes a long-overdue step up against dangerous veteran, Yvan Mendy.
