Tyson Fury has announced an all-British fight for December – though not against the opponent many expected.
Fury has spent the year calling out Anthony Joshua for what would surely have been the biggest domestic fight of all time, but, after no deal was struck, old foe Derek Chisora has stepped in to the ring at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 3.
The pair have fought twice before, making their rivalry a trilogy, though given the one-sided nature of it so far, few will expect this contest to end in anything other than a Fury win.
There have been plenty of unforgettable all-British affairs in the past, and could this be another? Here, PA news agency explores some of the others.
