Dereck Chisora v Tyson Fury summer showdown Hennessy win purse bids

Hennessy Sports have won the purse bids to stage the British heavyweight title fight between champion Dereck Chisora and English belt holder Tyson Fury, which is likely to take place this summer.

At the British Boxing Board of Controls offices in Cardiff on Wednesday Hennessy outbid Frank Warren to stage the highly anticipated fight between the two unbeaten British heavyweights that promises to be a great match-up.

Promoter Mick Hennessy said “I’m delighted to announce that Hennessy Sports have won the rights to stage this well talked about mega fight and as per BBBofC rules we will be announcing the date and venue for this contest within the next 14 days.”

Tyson said “Del boy has got no excuses now, my promoter has just handed him by far the biggest purse of his career and if he pulls out of this fight now in my opinion he will prove himself to be a right plonker.”

“The last time a heavyweight (Williams vs. Harrison) grudge match was fought for the British title it attracted over 8 million viewers on ITV1, only this is a much better fight than that one, between two undefeated hungry young heavyweights”. Fury told www.hennessysports.com
