Press Release

FIVE DAYS TO go until it is Tyson Fury time again, when the Gypsy King will rock up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to take on his old rival Derek Chisora for the WBC world heavyweight championship.

There is heavyweight action at the double, because the WBA champion, the hulking Daniel Dubois, will be making a first defence of his title against the South African challenger Kevin Lerena.

BT Sport Box Office will show Tyson Fury v Derek Chisora exclusively live on Saturday 3rd December. Live coverage starts from 7pm, with ring walks taking place at 9pm. Learn more at bt.com/sportboxoffice.

The supporting cast to the heavyweights is now in place and, in what is a special attraction, there is a cracking fight for the EBU and WBO International lightweight titles between the vastly experienced French champion Yvan Mendy (47-5-1, 22 KOs) and his unbeaten challenger Denys Berinchyk (16-0, 9) from Ukraine.

Frank W and Queensberry in association with K2 Promotions are proud to provide a platform for Berinchyk to resume his career while the devastating invasion of his homeland continues.

Berinchyk is part of Ukraine’s Class of 2012 along with Vasiliy Lomachenko and Oleksandr Usyk, winning silver at the London Olympics. Famed for his spectacular ring entrances, Berinchyk has even tried his hand at bare knuckle boxing, where he defeated former UFC Fighter Artem Lobov via TKO.

“In March I had to stop my boxing activity and joined the team of volunteers who helped our troops and people in hot points,” explained Berinchyk. “We’ve been to many places very close to the front. It was not that easy to get back to the gym after everything, but I understood that Ukrainians need all kinds of wins, so I couldn’t miss a possibility to raise the Ukrainian flag in a European ring.”

For his part, Mendy is hoping that Berinchyk is coming to make a fight of it after being frustrated by slick movers in big fights previously.

“I have five losses on points,” said Mendy. “Three of my opponents competed in World Championship fights. Campbell, Postol and Tatli. These three boxers beat me on points, at home, and by fleeing the whole fight.”

Two of Queensberry’s Blue Chip prospects also feature on the card, with teenage prodigy Royston Barney-Smith (3-0, 1) having his fourth four rounder against the Nicaraguan Cruz Perez (3-3-1, 1), known as ‘The Pitbull’. Future light heavyweight Karol Itauma (8-0, 6) has his ninth professional fight against the Slovakian Vladimir Belujsky (12-5-1, 8) – AKA Big Bad Vlad – who is based in Ireland.

“It is fantastic, I couldn’t ask for anything more from my promoter and manager Frank,” said Barney-Smith. “He is getting me on these top shows and is also doing a fantastic job promoting me and getting my name out there.”

“I am just blessed and grateful for the opportunities I have been given,” added Itauma. “Honestly, two Tyson Fury cards in one year is a blessing and I am going to take the opportunity with both hands.”

Tyson Fury comrades Isaac Lowe (21-2-3, 6) and Hosea Burton (27-3, 12) complete the card in six round fights at super featherweight and cruiserweight respectively.

BT Sport Box Office will show Tyson Fury v Derek Chisora exclusively live on Saturday 3rd December. Live coverage starts from 7pm, with ring walks taking place at 9pm. Learn more at bt.com/sportboxoffice .

I won't bother asking who's going, by the looks of this, pretty much no one

When you think how many resellers swoop in and buy tickets to tout, it looks like if you show up on the night you might be walking right in for free.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fwank gives away loads of tickets to key workers etc. He's done it before.

Cheers for that Keef, I was momentarily excited until I realised there is nothing on this card I want to see.

Well well well well, the haters are out in force today regarding the sale of tickets for Fury vs Chisora 3 at the Spurs Stadium (This weekend) live on BT Box Office PPV (UK) or head over to Ticketmaster and buy a ticket if you like (Otherwise radio job)

The picture which is shown has been reduced significantly (Blue is now grey)

I expect nothing else of the 'agents' when it comes to fight week.

Its selling out perfectly well. (Twisters will twist lol)

From the Times article about Chisora giving away tickets:

Fury’s WBC title is on the line so a clash between two British heavyweights should be a big deal, but there has been a social media shrug at the £26.95 pay-per view price. Chisora is 39 next month and, although he has proved durable in elite company, his split decision win over Kubrat Pulev in July came after two losses to Joseph Parker and one to Oleksandr Usyk. He lost to Fury in 2011 and again in 2014. It is a trilogy but in terms of quality excitement it is less Ali-Frazier and more Jaws 3. Fury has had more books out than knockouts in the past three years, but the champion stocking filler may find it harder to fill stadiums in the future unless boxing stops messing around, and he gets in a ring with Usyk.

You can only beat what is in front of you, which brings us to Chisora. You can get as much as 12-1 on Chisora in a two-horse race. Nobody is expecting him to win. In his first biography Fury said: “If ever there was an opponent made for me it is Chisora.”

Fury vs a 13 times beaten, 39 year old, he's already dominated twice.
DDD against a relatively unknown cruiserweight.
Isaac Lowe against an 8-4 import.
Hosea Burton vs TBA
Karol Itauma against a guy who didn't win a round against Cullen.
3-0 vs Lost his last 3.
Yvan Mendy VS Denys Berinchyk (The one and only good matchup on the card)

At least Eddie Hearn tries to give us value for money.

I'm not a hater, just calling it like it is. If it's a sell out, Chisora wouldn't be giving tickets away.

I doubt many would go even if the tickets were free

i would go if very cheap and lived in the area, but i would probably regret it

Haters? Twisters? How old are you?
God forbid that legitimate boxing fans question the quality of this fight (and the fight odds tell the objective story), not to mention the wisdom of staging it outdoors in December.
Anyone would have thought it was a discussion forum

Warren very likely gave Chisora a decent number of tickets which he can do whatever he likes.

The whole point of Fury vs Chisora 3 is to advertise Undisputed (Usyk will be ringside) - Joshua is heading to America but you never know he might turn up (AJ's 258 company manages Chisora)

Chisora was expecting 20 tickets and he’s been given 2,500. Apparently the undercard fighters have been given similar.

[mickey1975]

Looking at the full seating chart then i'd guess 45-50,000 already gone.

Do you know how many of them are to resellers?

No. What will they do? Take a loss....
p.s All experienced resellers wouldn't have bothered with this.

I would image that the people who sell them outside the venue will be doing everything they can to shift them. They will no doubt get the call to lower the price as the night goes on. As you know, resale is a massive business and like any other company, they have to take the rough with the smooth.

If it was me, I'd hire a dozen gorgeous promo girls to go round as many London pubs on Friday, heavily incentivized to sell the at ticket value.

[mickey1975]

There are no physical tickets. They are QR codes so much more of a mess about to sell like that. Also, London is a big city and the show will be kicking off in the afternoon. The main event is 9pm. What should they do? Walk around Covent Garden at dinner time? Most people in London are there for a reason, a show or something, like christmas shopping or Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park, it will take a hell of a saleswoman to persuade a family to change their plans!

[Dioufy]

I got physical tickets in the post for Fury v Whyte.

Really hot girls can sell anything to drunken men. Get them out on friday night - of you pardon the expression.

Are you going to the fight?

[mickey1975]

No.

[Manchester Hitman]

Said this before, but the lengths many are going on here and across social media to hammer the event is well over the top now.

It’s like a bunch of lemmings on twitter jumping on every comments section to repeat the same stuff over and again.

Yes, barring an act of God, he probably can’t win and we’ve seen it twice before, but the reality is Chisora is likely to give us a better fight than Whyte’s pathetic effort against Fury.

Dubois-Larena is a decent Heavyweight fight.

Mendy-Barinkych is a solid 50/50 on paper.

They are not getting my money though, as I am being more choosy these days.
