Fury vs. Chisora 2: Full Weigh-in Results and Recap

Gianni VerschuerenNov 28, 2014

Tyson Fury (22-0, 16 KOs) and Dereck Chisora (20-4, 13 KOs) will renew their rivalry on Saturday at ExCel London, with bragging rights and a chance for a heavyweight title bout in the near future on the line.

The undefeated Fury defeated Chisora via unanimous decision in 2011 in a highly entertaining affair, but both fighters have come a long way since then. Widely regarded as the two best heavyweights in England—not counting the still unaccomplished Anthony Joshua—this rematch simply had to happen.

The fight has been sanctioned as a title eliminator, so the winner of Saturday's scrap will move on to face Wladimir Klitschko for the WBO world heavyweight title, via the Daily Express' Charles Perrin.

Weigh-in Info

Tyson Fury264 pounds (clothed)
Dereck Chisora241 pounds

As shared by boxing news round up, the difference in size between both contenders was very visible, even if Fury decided to step on the scales fully clothed:

Standing at 6'9" and with an 85" reach, per BoxRec, Fury towered over Chisora, who clocks in at 6'1.5", with an 74" reach.

As expected, the faceoff featured a lot of trash-talking between these bitter rivals. Chisora tried to shake Fury's hand, to no avail, and the latter continued talking throughout the ordeal, as can be seen in the video:

Among his many jabs, Fury promised to knock Chisora out, told him he "has nothing" and promised to fight him again after he defeated Klitschko, so he could take his record to 3-0 against his British foe.

Chisora seemed more mild-natured, engaging a fan who trash-talked him as well and sporting a smile throughout the ordeal. He spoke with iFL TV about the fight and the rising Joshua, who is quickly gaining popularity in Britain:

As reported by the Daily Express' Charles Perrin, Fury appeared to be in a foul mood, and he took a shot at his critics:

"

I'm not interested one bit if people take me seriously as a boxer, I couldn't give a hoot.

It doesn't matter to me what people think of me as long as I get paid, and as long I win good fights, I'm happy.

"

Chisora may seem like a gentle giant, but his demeanor changes as soon as he sets foot in the ring. Always moving forward, his aggression will undoubtedly show on Saturday.

Fury may be the favourite after beating Chisora in 2011, as the 26-year-old has only gained experience and notoriety in the past three years. Of his last seven fights, six have ended in knockouts, via BoxRec, and he'll look to add to his tally against a man he knows all too well.

Sleeping on Chisora would be dangerous, however. The 30-year-old is a far more professional and accomplished fighter than he was three years ago, and his improved conditioning shows in the ring.

Fury's biggest weapon will be his jab, using that massive advantage he has in reach to keep Chisora out of his comfort zone. Despite his massive size, he has a tendency to dip his shoulders too much, and against an aggressive puncher like Chisora that's asking for trouble.

Chisora needs to be himself. Three years ago, he was an aggressive banger who moved at one speed. Ultimately, it cost him the first bout between the two. By moving better, avoiding the clinch and finishing his combinations, he could realistically hand Fury the first loss of his career.

A fast start will be important for both fighters, but Fury in particular can't afford to waste too much time. Chisora's conditioning has improved tremendously since 2011—he won't tire as quickly as he did back then.

Prediction: Fury beats Chisora by (close) decision.
