Dereck Chisora, Tyson Fury tipped for summer rematch

Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury will meet in the ring for their long-awaited rematch this summer, according to promoter Frank Warren.

Fury defeated Chisora on points when the two heavyweights clashed in 2011, but has since seen two fights with David Haye cancelled.

Chisora will defend his European heavyweight title against undefeated Ukrainian Andriy Rudenko at the Copper Box in London on February 15, and Fury is aiming to secure a bout on the same card.

"The plan is for both of them to come through their fights [on 15 February], then the pair will meet in a massive rematch in June," BBC Sport quotes Warren as saying.

"Because it's the biggest fight out there for them, and it's a fight that the public want to see, the only place for it to happen would be a football stadium - a real summer extravaganza between the big men of British boxing before the World Cup."

However, Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy moved quickly to deny that a bout with Chisora has been formally agreed, stating that it is some way from becoming official.
