The 34-year-old boxer Fury will defend his WBC heavyweight title for the third time against a fighter he has beaten twice previously.

The pair previously fought in 2011 and 2014, with Fury winning comfortably on both occasions.

Fury was in talks to fight Anthony Joshua in December, but negotiations broke down between both camps.

Fury said that he is ready to give his old foe a fight he will remember and the fans will be the big winners if he manages to retain his belt.

"He comes and does exactly what it says on the tin - he goes to war," Fury said about his opponents during the press conference.

"He has changed his name from Del Boy to War, and we're going to get a war.

"I did outbox him comfortably the second time, but Chisora's style has changed and so has mine! I used to be a tip-tap boxer on the back foot, jibbing and jabbing around the ring, but now I'm an HMS destroyer.

"When you've got two heavy forces colliding, then someone is getting knocked out. If he lands a punch on me, a big swing, I'm getting knocked out. If I land a big swing on him, then he's getting knocked out, so the fans are going to win."

This bout has been confirmed for 3 December at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
