Fury – Chisora rematch is set for July 26
According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, Heavyweights Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora will meet in a title elimination rematch on July 26 in Englans.
“This is the big one for both men,” said promoter Frank Warren. “It’s the fight for the right to face Klitschko for the world title and one of the best to be made on the world scene. The winner will become the No. 1 challenger to Klitschko and he’ll be forced to face whoever that man is, Chisora or Fury.”
“Tyson Fury is in my way and I’m going to smash him out of it and get the world title fight against Klitschko,” said the 6-foot-2, 240-pound Chisora. “Yes, Fury beat me last time, but that was at the worst time of my career. You’re seeing the best of me now and there’s no way Fury can deal with that.”
“He hasn’t moved on in his career since he beat me,” Chisora said. “I’ve been fighting at a higher level while he’s been fighting nobodies. This time I’ll dump him in a heap in the ring. He’s still got it in the back of his mind that he’s beaten me, he won a battle. I’m going to win the war.”
“It’s set to be a great night in my home city, the night I earn my dream world title shot in front of my home fans,” said the 6-9, 250-pound Fury, who was born in Manchester. “It means I have to go over old ground and batter Chisora again, but if that’s what has to be done, I’ll do it and in much better style this time. That [first] fight was nearly three years ago. I’ve moved into world class since then and remained unbeaten.
“I’ll give it to him, Tubby has shifted that spare tire around his waist and got himself into shape, but he can’t build muscle on his chin and when I land on it he’ll be knocked clean out. Get one thing clear: I’m getting the world title fight against Klitschko. I’m the best in Britain and you’ll see why on July 26.”
