“Call your team call me”
Tyson Fury told Derek Chisora to complete the deal for the pair to fight a third time.
The WBC Heavyweight Champion has contacted 258 MGT, the management company of ‘Del Boy’, in the hope that an agreement can be reached for the pair to clash in a trio.
Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) has beaten Chisora twice, overtaking him in 2011 and then stopping him in 2014, but has long insisted he will face off his countrymen again.
And on Monday, The 33-year-old took to social media and told ‘Del Boy’ to “sign that f***ing contract.”
Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn, who is tending to Chisora advertising, last week said Fury’s offer was too low and he didn’t think the fight would materialize.
But ‘The Gypsy King’ has now gone a step further and brought out Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) – who was last seen between the ropes at the O2 Arena in London last month when he beat Kubrat Pulev in a rematch of their 2016 clash – with an ultimatum if he wants to face his old friend, with whom he has had a very public relationship recently.
Fury tagged Chisora in a post on Instagram speak:
“Get ‘KD’, [Anthony] Joshua’s baggage carrier, to call me and get this deal done, it’s like I’m going to iron you.
“No problem, two seconds, blast, done.”
🔥 “Call me and let me finish this deal, like I’m ironing you!”@Tyson_Furycontinued his comment on @DerekWarChisoraconfident that signing will last as long as the battle

‘KD’, as he is referred to in Fury’s video, is David Ghansa, who was behind the negotiations with Team Fury in the third bout.
The request for Chisora from Fury outlines the 33-year-old’s intention to return from a self-imposed hiatus and fight back, despite having previously said a $500 million pot and a his fight with Oleksandr Usyk, WBA Super, IBF, WBO and IBO Champion, will be the only thing to tempt him to put on gloves again – unless the fight against Anthony Joshua at Wembley comes to fruition.
Fury also flirted during an exhibition with former World’s Strongest Man Thor Bjornsson with both men claiming that negotiations took place after a clash in November.
But now it looks like the fight with Chisora, to defend his WBC world title, is at the top of Fury’s hit list.
Ghansa recently said:
“Tyson’s team actually contacted us about a potential fight later this year.
“We have held initial discussions with more talks to be scheduled in due course.”
