Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury says the bad blood is legit between him and British champion Dereck Chisora. The two unbeaten boxers will face off on June 23 at Wembley Arena. Week after week, words are exchanged in the press and the two fighters nearly brawled in the audience during a recent Frank Warren promoted card.

“This is a real grudge match,” Fury told Express. “We are both undefeated, we have a similar KO record and the public want to see us in the same ring. I have the personality and the boxing style to be a major draw on TV. It’s a massive fight, a big launch pad and I want to make a positive statement.”

Fury is not underestimating Chisora's ability. He expects a tough fight, and hopes that a spectacular win will place him within reach of a title opportunity.

“Chisora is tough, he has power, quick hands and quick feet. I will not be underestimating him, he will have my respect. But it is my destiny to be heavyweight champion," Fury said.
