Tyson Promise To Chisora

Second's out.com31st August, 2010

Tyson Fury has promised to shut Derek Chisora's mouth if the British heavyweight champion comes through next month's double title dust up on promoter Frank Warren's 'Magnificent Seven' bill.

Chisora and Commonwealth champ Sam Sexton collide in Birmingham on Saturday, September 18 - eight days after Fury boxes Donnell Holmes at the York Hall.

Holmes has been beaten just once in 35 fights and his record shows 28 KOs.

From the start of his pro career, Fury has shown a willingness to fight all comers - his second pro fight was against Marcel Zeller, who had a 21-3 record going in - and Chisora is now top of the Manchester giant's hit list.

Fury, the English champion, said: "Chisora says he wants to fight for the European title if he beats Sexton, but he will have to go through me.

"I want to shut his mouth.

"I can't believe he's been slagging off David Haye. He would knock out Chisora in a round. All Chisora has done is beat a washed-up Danny Williams (to win the British title in May) and if that fight had happened a few years ago, Danny would have destroyed him.

"Chisora is a daft big mouth and he can't fight.

"He hasn't beaten anyone yet. I just hope he has the balls to fight me because I will hit him back.

"I've offered to fight him four times before and will fight him winner takes all if that's what it takes to get him in the ring.

"I know I'm the best heavyweight in Britain - apart from David Haye - and just want the chance to prove it."

Fury rates Sexton's fight with Chisora as "50-50" and added: "If Sam doesn't get stopped, he will win on points."

Tyson should be in the crowd at the LG Arena to watch the fight - just eight days after his next fight on promoter Mick Hennessy's show co-headlined by John O'Donnell - and says several opponents on the short list handed to him by bosses at US station Showtime turned the fight down.

"I don't understand why I can't find opponents," said Fury, last in action when knocking out John McDermott in nine rounds in their big rematch in June. "All I ever read is that I can't really fight and I've just got a big heart.

"So if that's the case, why is it such a struggle for me to find opponents ? It puzzles me."
