AgenciesTyson Fury has spent the entire year challenging Anthony Joshua to the most extensive domestic fight. Still, since no agreement could be reached, Tyson Fury's old rival Derek Chisora has stepped in for a bout on December 3 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The two have already engaged in a trilogy of fights, making it clear that Fury will win this one, considering how one-sided their other encounters have been.
However, there have been a lot of memorable all-British affairs in the past; could this be one of them?
Could it be another exciting contest, like Carl Froch flattening George Groves in Wembley with a devastating overhand right in the eighth round to end the rivalry and his career in the most fitting way possible? Or would it be as memorable as watching Lennox Lewis prove his Britishness to Frank Bruno in the edge-of-the-seat match and retain his WBC title yet again?
