Tyson Fury<\/a> has reaffirmed his pick for the upcoming Derek Chisora<\/a> vs. Deontay Wilder<\/a> fight.<\/p>\n

Veteran heavyweights collide when Chisora and Wilder meet at The O2 Arena in London on April 4<\/a>, with each man taking part in their respective 50th professional bout.<\/p>\n

Fury knows the two fighters well, taking part in separate trilogies with both of them, winning two and drawing one against former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder, while winning all three against domestic rival Chisora.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 has stated previously<\/a> that he believes Chisora will come out on top, and he has now explained further why he thinks that will happen, telling Gareth A. Davies<\/a> that he thinks Wilder is \u2018shot to bits.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI fancy Derek [to win]. I know Wilder is finished. He should have retired in 2021 after his last defeat [against me]. He didn\u2019t and he\u2019s ended up paying the price for a small amount of money, which he probably didn\u2019t really need, but whatever. I don\u2019t like to say what a man can and can\u2019t earn in his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you\u2019re gone, you\u2019re gone, and he\u2019s completely shot to bits. I saw that against Joe [Parker] and I saw it against Zhang. When you get older and your timing goes, you lose the ability to pull the trigger, and that\u2019s the key to all of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you rely on a one punch knockout that got him out of trouble 40-odd times in a row, and that\u2019s gone, you\u2019re finished. So I think Chisora stops him. Chisora is older and has had harder fights, but I think he has more left in the tank.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury is currently preparing for a fight of his own that takes place one week after Wilder vs. Chisora, as he competes for the first time since December 2024 when he faces Arslanbak Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury has reaffirmed his pick for the upcoming Derek Chisora vs. Deontay Wilder fight.
