Tyson Fury vs. Derek Chisora III | BT PPV - 3 December 2022

[Counter-puncher]

Yeah - whilst I thought Usyk beat Chisora and beat AJ in both fights, the most competitive of the 3 for me was the AJ rematch. I didn’t think the Chisora fight was close.

I agree. Most competitive was throughout was the AJ rematch, but I still had Usyk a comfortable winner. The SD ruins it a bit made it seem AJ could've won.

I think I gave Chisora 2 or 3 rounds. After the third round he was a punching bag and it was barely competitive. Despite not have any truly dominant rounds like Chisora's opening rounds, AJ remained somewhat competitive throughout in both fights despite comfortably losing most of the rounds.

It's just a myth created by Matchroom/Sky which has now been used against them to peddle Fury's legacy in the same way that Fury fans think Wilder is so great because he beat Ortiz who is so great because he... was a bogeyman?

yeah the 'Chis gave Usyk nightmares' line is one of the stranger bits of Matchroom hype to have actually made its way onto forums (i've seen a few posters use the line one way or another)

nobody really bought the Matchroom line that Bellew gave Usyk his toughest fight at the time, but it seems big Del's ostensible aggression had people confused.

Joyce would have 100% taken the fight. This defence is absolute bollocks and everything involved needs lashing with the raggy end of a pineapple.

The only person I don't blame is Del. I still blame him for being a woman basher, but not for accepting a title shot.

Is anyone on this forum actually attending this nonsense?

Definitely not attending this one. As Uysk said, this fight feels like a manoeuvre.

Agreed. Del has a lot of miles on the clock and Fury has his number. The only way Fury loses this is if he falls over on the way back to the corner and cracks his head on the stool.

Totally agree. I would give Chisora less than a 5% chance of winning.

I hope Del does it. I used to be a massive Fury fan, but he lost me once he started on eating boars. A woman basher against a PED cheat. It's hardly good backstory.

Yep, not a great back story. Like you, I struggle to look past the wild boar story. It makes me question the validity of what I am watching.

People trot out the old 'everyone's at it', but Fury actually was doing it. I would have more respect for him if he came forward and admitted it.

Very difficult to argue with most of what he says

Chisora was probably lined up long ago. The offer to AJ, so soon after the Usyk fight and not allowing enough time for a full training camp, was just posturing. The initial bluff was called and that then set up the bizarre, unneeded, personal deadlines, just another barrier to fudge it all up.

The Chisora fight will probably be the final episode in his Netflix series. It would be a painful finale if he got starched by a more credible and dangerous opponent, best keep it safe.

This fella must think it's Xmas, I've never heard of him before, now Tyson has given him his 15 mins of fame.

You might not have heard of him but there a many that had before this. That’s why Tyson went on his YouTube channel as it had pretty much 2m subscribers.

He was one of the commentators on the first DAZN misfits show. He was pretty critical about some of the fighters (again, telling it how it is) and wasn’t invited back for the second misfits show.

In the crazy boxing world we live in, I wouldn't be surprised if they have an exhibition on pay-per-view.

The offer was sent on Tuesday 6th September giving over him 12 and a half weeks to prepare. Joshua accepted the terms. If he was serious about fighting he wouldn't have jetted off to the Milan Fashion Show.

They made the first offer to Chisora in August and Tyson gave him no deadlines.

Got any links to the contract for the December fight being sent on the 6th September? Fury's initial call out video was on the 5th September.
From what i've read, it was around the 17/18th September they sent the contract, Hearn stating they received it around the 20th.
Even Fwank W stated they kept quiet after the Queen's death and mourning period before sending them. The Queen died on the 8th September.

Report from 17th September with Fwank stating the respect for The Queen's death, working on the contracts before sending them:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxin ... -bout.html

Article from 22nd September, 'contract received a couple of days ago'.
https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk ... s-25084955

While you're at it, any chance you give your take on why Fury set those previously unheard of personal deadlines? You seem to have never addressed that that part Doofus
If he truly, really wanted the fight, he wouldn't set up these additional barriers.

It’s funny how fans of boxers beef or defend them more than the actual boxers do.

You’d think, why do we care?

All these little details.

It takes 2 teams to compromise and set up a deal.

The fact is. The two teams failed to meet.

I blame them all.

Matchroom, DAZN, Hearn, AJ, Smith, Fury, John, Frank, George, BT, Queensberry etc.

I completey agree, and previously stated that they were both to blame, they were both playing a game. A bluff was made, a bluff was called, more bluffs put up, and then it finally all bluffed out.
However, Doofus appears to believe everything Fury says and also appears to have his very soul haunted by Anthony Joshua and his damn Milan fashion show.
