Derek Chisora reveals Tyson Fury offer ahead of Joseph Parker fight in Manchester

Derek Chisora has opened the door for a further fight with Tyson Fury, who is still waiting for an opponent early next year.

Back in the 2014 rematch, Fury wiped the floor with Chisora and has gone on to dominate the heavyweight division.

Fury's next opponent is yet to be decided, after the WBC elected not to mandate a fight against Dillian Whyte, and Chisora is open to the challenge.

"Yeah, man. I like Tyson Fury, he’s done well for himself. Yeah, why not? If he’s there we’ll do it," he said, as quoted by the Mail.

In order for such a fight to even be on the cards, Chisora will have to overcome Joseph Parker in Manchester next month - something he's confident he will do.

"You’re going to see so many changes, we’re going for a stoppage to be honest with you. I know most people wonder why I’ve been talking about the refs, it’s just one of those things.

"We know exactly what Joseph’s going to try to do. He’s going to try and come in the later rounds and push his power and speed."

Defeat for Chisora, however, would be the third on the spin and could bring an end to his time at the top but he's not thinking about retirement.

"There’s always plenty of life. Win or lose, there’s always something else happening. Most fighters say they retire from boxing, but you don’t retire from boxing.

"You say it and two weeks later you’re in the gym helping other guys to progress. Boxing is a hard game to leave. Even those who do come back. For me, there’s no losing option for this fight to be honest with you."
