Fury has hired Isaac Lowe as a trainer and plans to fight Derek Chisora to complete a trilogy against the fellow heavyweight.
“I’ve decided to come back to boxing, because I can be the first heavyweight world champion in history to have two trilogies,” Fury said. “I’d always say I’d fight Derek Chisora at the end of my career.”
According to Mike Coppinger of ESPN, the plan would be for a fight in December at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. There is still no official deal with the sides reportedly “seven figures apart on Chisora’s purse.”
