Chisora’s dialogue took an interesting turn when the discussion shifted to Joshua’s current predicament of still not having an opponent confirmed for his scheduled date on August 12th.
The heavyweight shared his thoughts on Whyte’s recent remarks, suggesting that Hearn and Anthony may not be genuinely committed to their offers.
The captivating interview also included Chisora’s frank opinion on Fury’s present condition. Amidst the rush for fighters to secure bouts before December, Derek remarked that Tyson appears to be taking a more relaxed approach.
When the conversation shifted towards the public backlash against Fury and his father’s recent comments regarding slapping Eddie Hearn, Chisora did not shy away. He promptly cautioned John about the potential repercussions, highlighting the possible consequences of his actions.
“then he’ll go to jail. You want to go to jail John Fury? Do you? Don’t be slapping a businessman who’s wearing a suit, you’ll go to prison.”

It appears that Hearn, who serves as Joshua’s promoter, has chosen to disregard the entirety of the WBC heavyweight champion’s proposal and instead appears to be directing his attention towards securing other fights.
“That man is a total p****, and when I see him, smack! Right in the ear hole and I mean that… -Anthony Joshua- is a gentleman and he’s done what he can for this country, but I’ll tell you now, if he comes round John Fury I’ll backhand that bum”, John Fury expressed with no apparent provocation.
When questioned about the specific remarks or actions from Eddie that fueled his negative sentiment towards the promoter, his response grew increasingly heated.

“He ain’t said nothing. But I’ll tell you what it is. He’s in for the biggest shock of his life in the boxing world and he’ll probably be that sick he’ll never look at boxing again. It’s coming for him. Hold your breath. What’s coming for him will retire him in the game”, John Fury sentenced.
Regarding the comments made by Fury’s father, Eddie responded lightheartedly during his interview with IFL TV, he “was right about calling him a p****”.
