Tyson Fury has been quick to share his thoughts on the proposed Derek Chisora vs Deontay Wilder showdown.
Chisora and Wilder are reportedly finalising a deal for a fight in London in April, with ‘The Bronze Bomber’ now turning his attention to the British veteran after initially being linked to a fight against unified world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
No other heavyweight arguably knows Chisora and Wilder better than Fury, who has fought each men on three occasions, defeating ‘Del Boy’ three times and earning two wins and a draw against Wilder.
Speaking on social media about the potential fight, Fury revealed that he is predicting Chisora to win by knockout.
“I’ve just seen that Chisora and Deontay Wilder are going to do a fight. I think this is a great fight. I’ve fought both of these men three times each. I think it’s a very good fight but on this one I’m going to go with my boy Chisora for a stoppage.”
Fury also believes that a title should be added to the bout.
“There should be a belt on the line too. One of you sanctioning bodies you’ve got two legendary fighters here. A world champion with 10 title defences from the USA and an absolute warlord from the United Kingdom who has fought everybody and never ducked anybody and would have been a good heavyweight in any era in Derek Chisora. Put a belt on the line.”
With Usyk in possession of the WBC, WBA and IBF titles, and Wardley serving as WBO champion, it’s highly unlikely a belt will be added, but the winner could well find themselves in line for a shot at world honours.
