CHISORA: I’M 250% FIT

-

DERECK CHISORA wants to settle his score with Dillian Whyte and then complete his trilogy with

Tyson Fury.

On Saturday,

Chisora has the chance to avenge his 2016 defeat by

Whyte when they meet at London’s O2 Arena. Chisora (below) said: “The last time I fought him, I was not 100 per cent fit – now I’m 250 per cent fit.

Fury beat him in 2011 and in 2014, but Chisora said: “It’s our destiny to have a third fight.” JOSH WARRINGTON has warned Carl Frampton he doesn’t need a packed Elland Road behind him to win a big fight.

The Leeds lad (right) claimed his IBF world featherwei­ght crown from Lee Selby at the famous Yorkshire stadium in May.

His first defence, however, will be across the Pennines at the Manchester Arena on Saturday.

Warrington said: “My first 15 fights were on the road, I’ve boxed away many times.

“I used to get excited about being the away fighter because you just want to turn round and silence their fans. My last seven fights, I’ve boxed at home and, obviously, for the last one, I had a packed stadium behind me.

“But this is going to be 50-50 in terms of noise and it gets to a stage where you don’t need to rely on the crowd any longer.”
