Undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury is expected to make his return to professional boxing on December 3. in the U.K. – with camps currently finalizing a deal which would see the Manchester puncher fight Derek Chisora in a trilogy title fight. 

As per an initial report from ESPN reporter, Mike Coppinger, Fury, who has been linked with a long-awaited all-British matchup against former world champion, Anthony Joshua in an end-of-year matchup in Cardiff, will now turn his attention to the 38-year-old Chisora.

“Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora are finalizing a deal, sources tell ESPN, as they entered their third week of negotiations for a Dec. 3 fight in U.K.,” Coppinger tweeted. “Talks between Fury and Anthony Joshua broke off on Sept. 29, a fight that was never going to happen in 2022.”

Coppinger further noted how Tyson Fury had been continually negotiating for a fight against Chisora, at the same time he was campaigning publicly for a fight against the latter’s 258 Management stablemate, Joshua.

“So essentially, Fury has been negotiating with Chisora for weeks while also in public talks with Joshua,” Coppinger tweeted. “Was there ever genuine intention for Fury-Joshua to take place, and also, Joshua and Chisora are both with 258 management…”

Brendan Schaub, a former UFC fighter and currently a podcast host and comedian, recently sat down with combat sports heavyweight legends Mike Tyson and Daniel Cormier to discuss a myriad of things. During the four-hour marathon show, the question of comparing boxing heavyweight champions came up.

The question was aimed at Tyson, the host asked, “Mike Tyson in his prime vs Tyson Fury in his prime. Who wins, Mike?” Comparing the all-time great ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson with the current boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Before the legendary boxer had a chance to answer, Schaub interjected and said, “Mike, before you answer, this is no disrespect but for me, technically-wise, Fury can go defense, his footwork is great. To me, as far as technique-wise, he is the best we’ve ever had.”

Tyson Fury comes from a family of boxing enthusiasts and is, in fact, named after the heavyweight great Mike Tyson. He is the namesake of the American boxer. Knowing this, Mike Tyson answered the question with, “Listen, just him being Tyson Fury shows my greatness.”

“I don’t know. I don’t care if he could beat me or not. His name is Tyson.” Mike Tyson has spent much of his career being compared to other heavyweight greats such as Muhammad Ali. Now, Tyson is so renowned that the current heavyweight champion is named after him, which is a mark of his greatness. ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson continued, “He can beat me, but I don’t care he is named after the greatest fighter that ever lived.” [Transcript courtesy of Sportbible]

Mike Tyson is revered as one the most formidable punchers in boxing history

‘The Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury is unbeaten in his 33-fight career and has held numerous titles such as WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight titles, among others. The English-born boxer currently seems to be aiming for a match against fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua, rather than the current WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, of Ukraine.

Tyson, was a feared and powerful heavyweight boxer who earned the WBA, WBC, IBF, and The Ring heavyweight titles while being undefeated until his first career loss in 1990. Most notably, he has one of the most impressive records in boxing history with an 88% knockout win rate. In his mid-fifties, in 2020, ‘Iron’ Mike came out of retirement and had a boxing exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr.

Amid continued speculation regarding a potential all-British blockbuster between WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, and former titleholder, Anthony Joshua this December, former WBA heavyweight titleholder, Mahmoud Charr has revealed he has an agreement to share the ring with three Frank Warran promoted boxers – one of which is, in fact, Fury.

Mahmoud Charr is a former WBA heavyweight champion

Charr, a former WBA heavyweight champion, won that crown with a November 2017 win over Alexander Ustinov, before making his return back in May with a non-title bout knockout win over Nikola Milacic in Hamburg.

The Lebanon-born heavyweight former champion current boasts a 33-4 professional boxing record, previously challenging for WBC heavyweight spoils against Vitali Klitschko, suffering a fourth round knockout loss in 2012 in a Moscow matchup.

Over the course of the last two weeks, however, speculation has ramped up regarding a potential, long-awaited clash of current WBC champion, Fury, and former champion, Joshua before the end of this year.

Reports detailed how contract offers had been made for a potential Cardiff matchup at the end of this year, however, Fury imposed an un-official deadline of 5pm GMT on Monday of this week for Joshua to sign the deal.

With the imposed d-day come and gone, Fury has claimed Joshua has missed his opportunity to finally share the squared circle with him. 

However, an unlikely candidate to potentially emerge and face Fury is the aforenoted, Mahmoud Charr, who claims he has an agreement to fight the above mentioned, Warran’s heavyweights, including Daniel Dubious, recent winner, Joe Joyce – and even Fury.

“I hope so,” Mahmoud Charr said during an interview with Boxing News. “I am waiting to see if Anthony Joshua responds and signs for that fight. I think if he doesn’t, Tyson Fury has to fight me. I am ready.”

“I have a signed agreement to fight the three (heavyweight) fighters of Frank Warren,” Mahmoud Charr continued. “I have the option to fight these three fighters: Tyson Fury, Daniel Dubious, and Joe Joyce. I am ready to fight any of them but Tyson Fury is the first round I would pick. I want Tyson Fury.”

On his official Instagram stories, Fury added fuel to the proverbial fire on a fight against Charr, labelling the Beirut puncher as a fighter with “desire”.

“Looking forward to fighting a man who wants to fight & has fire & desire,” Tyson Fury posted. “Fought some of the best fighters & now stepping up again! Get in there (Mahmoud) Charr.”

As per Anthony Joshua’s management firm and representatives, their client have accepted terms for a December 3. boxing match against Fury, however, communication had been halted following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II last week. 

“Joshua-Fury update:” 258MGT tweeted. “258 and @MatchroomBoxing can confirm, on behalf of @anthonyjoshua, that we accepted all terms presented to us by Fury’s team for a fight Dec 3rd last Friday. Due to the Queen’s passing, it was agreed to halt all communication. We are awaiting a response.” 

In a statement released on Twitter in response to Anthony Joshua’s management, Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, who heads up Queensbury Promotions, confirmed that a contract would be issued in the coming days. “Contract will be with you very soon.”

Without a victory since December 2020, Joshua, 32, most recently stopped Kubrat Pulev with a ninth round knockout win at The SSE Arena in London, before a pair of back-to-back losses to Ukrainian puncher, Usyk. 

Boasting an undefeated 32-0-1 professional record, Fury notably shared the ring with Deontay Wilder on three separate occasions ins the last four years, battling to a split draw, before scoring a pair of seventh and eleventh round knockout wins over the former champion, respectively.

According to his promoter, Matchroom leader, Eddie Hearn, former WBA and WBO heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has accepted an offer to compete against undisputed WBC heavyweight kingpin, Tyson Fury in a blockbuster end-of-year championship showdown.

As per an initial report from boxing journalist, Michael Benson, as per Hearn, Joshua has accepted an offer to compete against fellow British heavyweight standout, Fury in a long-awaited championship fight before the culmination of the year.

“Anthony Joshua has now accepted Tyson Fury’s 60/40 offer for a WBC heavyweight world title fight, Eddie Hearn has revealed,” Michael Benson tweeted. “He said initial offer was for a November date, but A.J. wants fight on Dec. 17th, which Frank Warren already booked at Principality Stadium. [@IFLTV]” 

“Eddie Hearn has stated that Tyson Fury’s offer to Anthony Joshua includes rematch clause (if Joshua wins) for a second fight at 50/50 (split),” Benson tweeted. “He said A.J. is happy to accept rematch clause if second fight would be 60/40 in his favor. Hearn doesn’t envisage this to be a problem. [@IFLTV]”

Tyson Fury offers Anthony Joshua a title ultimatum

In response to Hearn’s statement regarding a potential fight between Fury and Joshua, the defending WBC heavyweight champion has called for the fight to take place on either November 26. or December 3. – rather than December 17.

“Tyson Fury has now dedicated that he’s not happy with Anthony Joshua’s request for their fight to take place on Dec 17th.,” Benson tweeted. “Fury replied in an Instagram comment: “Nov 26th at Wembley or Dec 3rd in Cardiff. That’s the dates, take or leave.” 

Speaking with TalkSport, Fury doubled down on his wish to secure a fight at the end of November of the beginning of December with Joshua, rather than wait until a week before Christmas. 

“Tyson Fury on the Anthony Joshua fight date:,” Benson tweeted. “I have Nov 26th at Wembley or Dec 3rd [at Principality]. One is 11 weeks, and one is 12 weeks. If a professional athlete who’s shredded all year round can’t get himself in shape in three months, there’s a problem.” 

Floating a potential retirement ever since his April knockout victory over Dillian Whyte to retain his WBC heavyweight crown, Fury has since, however, called for a fight with WBA heavyweight kingpin, Oleksandr Usyk following the Ukrainian’s second career win over Joshua last month in Saudi Arabia.
