Derek Chisora tells Tyson Fury to his face that Anthony Joshua will beat him

Derek Chisora ​​has fooled Tyson Fury by saying he will lose his heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua before challenging the Gypsy King to a “bare knuckle fight.”

The pair had been in talks for a fight of their own earlier this year, but negotiations stalled and there was obvious bad blood when they met ringside at Saturday night’s Joe Joyce vs Joseph Parker event.

Chisora ​​muscled in an interview Fury gave to talkSPORT and said, ‘If the fight takes place, he will win.’

Fury stood face to face just inches apart and replied, “I’ll win. I’ll knock him out in six rounds and if you want I’ll fight you in between rounds too.”

Chisora ​​claimed Joshua would win the future fight, but of course Fury begged to be different

Fury, the undefeated WBC and The Ring heavyweight champion, then urged Chisora ​​on by reminding everyone of his two wins over him in 2011 and 2014.

Just before that, the pair talked about the failed talks to fight each other.

Chisora ​​said, ‘I’m here in Manchester, I’m here. You said come to Manchester and I’ll fight you hard and I’m here.’

Fury replied, “Why didn’t you sign the contract then?” Chisora, who wore sunglasses, a hood and a face mask, claimed the contract was never sent to him.

Fury seemed up for the challenge, saying, ‘I’ll fight you barefoot if you want, no problem. Always, everywhere, everywhere.

“Listen, you got two million and you declined.”

The Gypsy King then said he would fight Chisora ​​if the fight with Joshua isn’t for later this year. ‘Listen, do you want to fight? If your husband doesn’t fight, I’ll definitely fight you next time.’

Whether the Fury vs Joshua fight will take place remains up in the air with Fury setting a Monday deadline to sign the contracts to make it happen.

“I’m tired of setting deadlines,” Fury said. “They want this poxy fight or not.”

That led Eddie Hearn to hit him back, claiming that Fury’s comments were an attempt to hide his interest in fighting German heavyweight Mahmoud (formerly Manuel) Charr.

“The talks have gone well and are moving in the right direction, but there is still a long way to go.” Hearn told seconds off.

“Fury wants to fight Manuel Charr, that’s pretty clear, and the public isn’t the brightest if they think otherwise.”

While the long-specified clash between the two best British heavyweights of a generation may have seemed the closest thing to reality, Hearn explained that the fight will not take place if Fury’s ultimatum on Monday was genuine.

“I don’t think there is a way to sign this contract on Monday as there is still a lot to do,” Hearn said furiously.

“This fight takes time. We waited 10 days to get the contract… suddenly he wants it signed within 24 hours. No chance.’

Hearn went on to criticize Fury for having serious doubts about the fight set to take place in December.

Asked if he was leaning towards the long-awaited fight that wasn’t going to happen, Hearn said: ‘Yeah, because if he comes up with such statements… we’ll see.

Once again, Tyson Fury made a statement: ‘I’m retired, I’m this, I’m giving my wallet to the homeless, I’m walking away from this fight on Monday’.

‘Guess? The fight will not be signed on Monday. So if you want to walk away from that, while we’re all trying to make it – including your promo team – go ahead.”
