CBC confirm that Commonwealth Heavyweight title also on the line for Fury vs. Chisora

The Commonwealth Boxing Council Secretary, Mr Simon Block has confirmed that the upcoming British Heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and champion Dereck Chisora will now also see the Commonwealth Heavyweight title contested for.

Tyson Fury said “I was really pleased to receive the news that the Commonwealth title will also be on the line, I’m obviously going the traditional route by winning the English title first then the British and Commonwealth next, then I will be going after European and genuine World honours.”

“I’m promising boxing fans around the world this is going to be a sensational performance from me and I’m going to show them why I’m the next big thing in world boxing.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing him on Tuesday at the press conference; this is one not to be missed.”

The “Big Brawl to settle it all!” showdown is set to take place at Wembley Arena on Saturday July 23rd.

The Official “BIG BRAWL" Press Conference will take place on
Tuesday 31st May at Wembley Arena.

Details on how to purchase tickets and prices for “The Big Brawl” will be announced
at the press conference.

Is the Commonwealth title still Chisoras right now?

Poster is pretty poor, has the budget been hit that badly? Surely the Champ comes first too.

I think the poster is quality.

Never seen Fury in such good shape! DD

I can't wait for this one! Two big talkers who are prepared to put it all on the line...the belts, the unbeaten records and the reputations. This one should live up to the expectations, both have been in some good fights and the bragging rights that will come with the win is a massive incentive (especially so for Fury).

Roll on July

Decent little bit of artwork there - gonna be a collectors item one day so get hold of it. Where/how would you get hold of the poster?

PS: Fury looks like Terry D on there!

Quality poster, if a little flattering! Fury looking statuesque and Chisora with rippling triceps!

I can see why they went that way with it.

looking forward to this fight, neither are the greatest of fighters but evenly matched which hopefully should make for a good fight and after saturday nights shenanigans adds abit of grudge to it

Bit disrespectful Challenger before champion.

It is, he unified it with the British title when he knocked out Sam Sexton on the Magnificent 7 Bill as the NEC in Birmingham.

The bar for poor posters has already been set, and set very high.
