CHISORA WANTS FURY VS JOSHUA FOR 117-YEAR-OLD BELT

Veteran British heavyweight Derek Chisora wants Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to fight for the 117-year-old British title instead of the WBA world heavyweight belt when they meet in Cardiff on Friday, December 11.

The two former world champions will finally settle their decade-long feud at the Principality Stadium. The WBA has sanctioned it for its vacant super heavyweight title, however Chisora believes the Lord Lonsdale belt, created in 1909, would be a better prize.

Richard Riakpohre currently holds the British heavyweight title. Chisora, Joshua and Fury have all held it before. The 42-year-old has a long history with both men. He lost three times to Fury and helped mentor a young Joshua at Finchley Amateur Boxing Club.
