British heavyweight rivals Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury are ready to settle their score as they fight for the right to face the division's king Wladimir Klitschko.
Chisora, 30, and unbeaten Fury, 25, were due to meet in a hugely anticipated July clash which was postponed after Chisora broke his hand in his final spar while facing Alexander Ustinov. The 6ft 8in Belarusian as then drafted in as Chisora's replacement, but Fury was unfortunately forced to withdraw on the day of the fight after his uncle and first trainer Hughie was taken seriously ill.
Now they're set to do battle at London's ExCel Arena as the stakes remain the same. Chisora risks his European title, while the vacant British crown is also up for grabs. But, more importantly, the winner of this massive heavyweight showdown knows they'll earn the right to face Ukrainian legend Wladimir Klitschko for the WBO World Heavyweight Championship.
For Zimbabwe-born Londoner Chisora, this fight also presents a chance to avenge his first career defeat, which came at the hands of Fury when they met in July 2011.
Chisora was out of shape and un-focused that night; the 30-year-old puncher has gone on to become involve in some of the division's biggest fights in recent years, including taking Vitali Klitschko the distance in Munich and a huge all-British showdown against David Haye.
On that night, Chisora had Fury in serious trouble in the second round as he wobbled the 6ft 9in Mancunian. However, the then 23-year-old comes from tough fighting stock, and recovered well to eventually take a narrow unanimous decision and take away Chisora's British and Commonwealth titles, as well as his unbeaten record.
Since their first meeting, the two popular heavyweights have gone in different directions. While Chisora bounced back to become involved in huge bouts against Vitali Klitschko and David Haye, Fury continued to build his record from the 15-0, which he reached after beating Chisora, to today's 22-0 career slate.
