By William Mackay: Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (6-0, 6 KOs) wants a shot at Derek Chisora (10-0, 5 KOs), for June 13th. Fury’s promoter Mick Hennesy has already made an offer to Chisora’s promoter for the open date on the 13th next month, so now the ball is in Chisora’s court. Previously, Chisora said that he’d be willing to fight Fury at a days notice. Obviously, he meant that in jest but he seemed to see Fury as no threat to him.

News – Warren Looking to Set Up Chisora-Williams Bout
