The press conference for Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora today was as lively and eerie as many expected – with Chisora even attempting to phone Eddie Hearn at one stage!
In a snoop at Fury’s promoter Frank Warren, Chisora took out her phone and joked that he would give Hearn a ring to help Warren sell out the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 3.
“We should call Eddie Hearn, find a way to sell out this stadium. Quickly get Eddie Hearn into the blower. “
“He sells out stadiums every day.”

Judging by the setback after the failed negotiations between Fury and Joshua, Hearn is probably the last man Queensberry wants to hear from as of today.
In more serious terms, Chisora says he’s grateful for the opportunity and Fury has lived up to a long-held promise that the two will have a three-part showdown.
“I am buzzing. It was a great fight. Can’t really say much because they put a stop to me on contracts – so that’s how I’m going to leave it out. “
“Tyson always said there would be a third war and it is here now. So shout out to Tyson for giving me a chance to fight him.”
“Is there bad blood? Not really. I just want to take what’s his and make it mine. That’s my whole goal for this fight. I want to remove it physically. “
And, amid the hijinks and back and forth humor, Fury spoke well of Chisora in response, praising ‘Del Boy’ for accepting the fight in December when others, according to Fury, declined the challenge. awake.
“We tried to fight Joshua, we tried to fight Usyk but they didn’t want to be without smoke.”
“What about me sitting here trying to sell Derek Chisora to the fans? I don’t have to sell it to anyone. “
“When you suggested fighting Derek Chisora - boom, he sat here across from me. Man with ball. “
“He is what you see on tin, war. And there will be a fight in it that night. “
A vivid start to what is sure to be an entertainment build over the next six weeks.
