BOXING: Chisora readies for Fury test

NEXT Saturday night, November 29th, it’s time for “Bad Blood.”

Dereck Chisora returns to re-match a matured Tyson Fury for the headline fight, following a lengthy war of words.

Two unbeaten middleweight prospects battle for supremacy in Billy Joe Saunders vs Chris Eubank Jnr.

Both of these battles are legitimate grudge matches, with plenty of real bad blood between the fighters.

There’s no faking it here.

Fury and Chisora have fought each other before, with Fury picking up the victory. Especially with the late postponement for the originally scheduled re-match though, things have gotten uglier between their camps.

As far as Saunders vs Eubank Jnr goes, these two just don’t like each other. Fans are hoping that they’ll see all of that animosity play out in the ring and be settled once and for all.

Meanwhile, Chisora found you can’t always get what you want as Mick Jagger turned down the chance to be godfather to his daughter.

Chisora claimed that his newborn child Angeline Viola was named after the Rolling Stones song Angie, and he asked Jagger to assume the role.

But the Stones front-man didn’t take him up on the offer.

“We named her after my mum, my other half’s mum and the Stones song Angie,” said Chisora. “I tried to get Jagger to be godfather, but he turned me down.”

However, despite having failed to get Jagger on board, Chisora is confident he will get plenty of satisfaction when he returns to the ring.

He fights Tyson Fury in London on November 29, and has claimed the fight “will be one of the easiest of my career”.

Fury won the first time the two British fighters met in July 2011, but Chisora, who has recovered from a hand injury which saw the fight delayed in July, believes he will avenge that defeat this time around. — Proboxing/ESPN.
