Tyson Fury's opponent for a December 3 fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be confirmed tomorrow.
Think Derek Chisora.
Not Anthony Joshua. Not Joe Joyce. Not Daniel Dubois. Not yet Oleksandr Usyk.
But that battle to crown the first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis is planned for February or March and Chisora, 38, as a tick-over opponent for the Gypsy King is most unlikely to be throw a spanner in the works.
Fury has already been talking about 'becoming the first heavyweight champion to fight two trilogies.'
This one can hardly be as momentous as the first against Deontay Wilder but it will make a small notch in history.
Fury has already beaten Chisora twice and the veteran is in the end phase of his career. But he qualifies as a world-title challenger by clinging on to 14th place in the WBC heavyweight rankings, one above the cut-off point.
Fury is a natural showman and that gift should draw a large enough crowd to Tottenham and excite a respectable TV audience on BT Sport.
