WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has sought to set the record straight on his failed trilogy fight with Derek Chisora.
Fury recently excited fight fans when he announced his comeback and set his sights on a third fight with Chisora, whom he beat in 2011 and 2014.
However, the fight talks quickly fell apart and Fury confirmed last weekend that he had once again retired, thus vacating his Ring Magazine heavyweight belt.
‘Delboy’ recently insisted that despite speaking to Fury about the fight he never received an official offer as he rejected £2million before the heavyweight champion does not withdraw from the negotiations.
Speaking on talkSPORT Drive, he attempted to set the record straight.
Chisora said, “Listen, that’s how it is. I’m sitting in my house and I get a private phone call.
“’Do you want to fight me?’, ‘Who is it’, ‘It’s Tyson’, ‘Okay cool’.
“‘I’ll give you £2m’, ‘Okay cool, send me a contract’. I’m still waiting for the contract.
“I did not refuse the fight. You must understand, I have a product that I sell on TV and on the radio, I have a product that I sell.
“For him to sell the Millennium Stadium, Wembley Stadium, he can’t sell it to anyone. He can only sell it to me, Deontay [Wilder] and AJ [Anthony Joshua].”
‘The Gypsy King’ have now claimed that Chisora had in fact officially offered himself £2million, but his side have demanded more money. He says that’s something his attorney and co-promoter can confirm.
“I see Delboy is back,” Fury said in a video posted to social media.
“He’s confused because he lost 2 million pounds that I offered him because it’s stupid 258 [Anthony Joshua’s management company] said no, they wanted £3million. Robert Davis is there to confirm, as is Frank Warren.
“I’ll show you who wants to smoke, you little shit. You were offered 2 million pounds and you got screwed, big sausage. Carrot! You’re a carrot eater, you little asshole.
Fury’s latest retirement is set to come to an end after Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua’s rematch for the WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.
Whoever wins will be looking to set up a hugely lucrative undisputed fight with Fury, who holds the only other major title and has always talked boxing again despite being done with the sport.
