Derek Chisora doesn’t dispute the outcomes of his first two fights with Tyson Fury.

Chisora’s upcoming opponent out-pointed him in their first fight, a 12-rounder in July 2011 at Wembley Arena in London. The undefeated Fury produced an even more decisive victory over Chisora in their rematch three years later, which was stopped by Chisora’s handlers after the 10th round in November 2014 at ExCeL London.

The 38-year-old Chisora claims, though, that he did enough to beat boxing’s other undefeated heavyweight champion two years ago. According to Chisora, he should’ve been declared the winner over Oleksandr Usyk in October 2020 at Wembley Arena.

All three judges – Denmark’s Jan Christiansen, Russia’s Yury Koptsev and England’s Bob Williams – scored that 12-round fight for Ukraine’s Usyk. Christiansen (115-113) and Koptsev (115-113) scored seven rounds apiece for Usyk, while Williams (117-112) scored eight rounds for Usyk and one round even.

Usyk’s victory kept the former undisputed cruiserweight champion in the WBO’s mandatory position to challenge Anthony Joshua. Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) out-boxed England’s Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) in his following fight, won a unanimous decision and took the IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO belts from the British superstar in September 2021 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Chisora told former featherweight and junior featherweight champ Carl Frampton and co-host Josh Denzel during an interview that appeared recently on BT Sport that Christiansen, Koptsev and Williams didn’t give him nearly enough credit for the work he did during their thoroughly competitive contest. The Zimbabwe native also claimed British referee Phil Edwards failed to credit him for what Chisora says should’ve been a knockdown during the fourth round, when Usyk briefly hit the canvas after appearing to trip over Chisora’s foot.

“Let’s all be honest – on the Usyk fight, I was winning,” Chisora said. “I won that fight. I knocked him down, they didn’t give it to me. You know, this is a problem. You know, and I just hope for this fight on December 3rd that it will be fair judging and a fair ref. You know, because there’s so much going on in this camp for me, you know, I don’t want people to be biased. I just want people to come in with an open mind and be fair. You know, because I know for a fact I’m not coming to lay down. And he’s not coming to lay down, so we just want it to be – I just want it to be fair, basically.”

Neither the judges nor the referee for the third Fury-Chisora clash have been revealed. Nevertheless, most sportsbooks have installed Manchester’s Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) as at least a 25-1 favorite to defeat London’s Chisora (32-12, 23 KOs) in their 12-round fight for Fury’s WBC belt December 3 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
