It is the third clash between these two rivals in 11 years, with Fury prevailing on points in 2011 before stopping Chisora three years later. In the seven years since, the two fighters’ careers have gone in different directions, with Gypsy King still undefeated and sitting astride boxing’s blue riband division, while Chisora has lost seven times – including three of his last four. Only one winner tonight then? You might think so, but never say never in heavyweight boxing (although Fury is an 18-1 ON favorite with his opponent 16/1-ish to secure one of the biggest upsets in boxing history…) . The Gypsy King himself has promised fireworks tonight, vowing both he and Chisora will “throw our hands down when the bell rings” – and with three consecutive stoppages Fury, who weighed in four pounds heavier than last fight of him, he will imagine make it four by four. In the build-up to this fight, Telegraph Sport’s Simon Briggs spent a week inside the Fury camp – and explained his experiences in this fantastic piece. Elsewhere, rising star Daniel Dubois is the mainstay for Fury v Chisora 3, with the British heavyweight putting his WBA (Regular) strap on the line against Kevin Lerena. Dubois has bounced back admirably since suffering a fractured orbit in a loss to Joe Joyce a few years ago and can keep himself in contention for future bouts with Fury and Oleksandr Usyk with another impressive performance. The Ukrainian, who holds the other three major world title belts after beating Anthony Joshua twice, is set to be at ringside tonight. And boxing fans everywhere will be desperate to see him and Fury fight for undisputed status at some point next year. We’ll have live updates from the undercard as well as build-in to the big fight and then round-by-round updates throughout – plus all the post-fight reaction. The ring walk for the main event is expected around 9 p.m. UK time.
