Rival British heavyweights Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora came face-to-face at a London press conference today, yet another promotional piece to further hype up the rematch that will go down on July 26th in Manchester. And Fury, who out-pointed an admittedly out of shape Chisora back in 2011, was very much in fight mode today; letting loose with plenty of foul language and having to be pulled away from Chisora, who is also up for this fight, a final eliminator for the WBO heavyweight title, in a huge way. At one point during the proceedings, though, Chisora apologized to the fans for the foul language Fury was letting loose with.
“I don’t give a f**k how many women and children are in the audience,” Fury, sporting a shaven head, shot back. “We’re getting near to the fight and I’m in fight mode, kill mode.”
The two then shook hands on a cash bet.
“I bet you ten grand I knock you out,” Chisora bellowed.
“Ten grand is chump money to me. I give the kids that to go to the shops. Make it winner takes all – or at least 100 grand,” Fury shouted.
The two then met face-to-face and shook hands on the bet (whichever one it actually was).
Hype to sell any remaining tickets for the intriguing clash, or a genuine display of both dislike for one another, not to mention sheer confidence from both fighters?
25-year-old Fury is currently unbeaten at 22-0(16). While 30-year-old Chisora’s record stands at 20-4(13).
