Image: Fury-Chisora: Wembley AwaitsBy Peter Wells: Tonight at Wembley Arena one of the most hyped British fights of the year will take place and expectations don’t get much higher. In the UK Channel 5 will air the fight meaning it is free for all UK residents to watch. The amount of people tuning in for fights on terrestrial TV is almost massive as was shown on ITV even when the likes of John Murray and Darren Barker fought there was still a great number of viewers. So Derek Chisora and Tyson Fury will have a lot of pressure on their shoulders to give the fans what they’ve been promised.

Chisora will be defending his British/Commonwealth titles and is looking forward to finally fighting Wladimir Klitschko. The Ukrainian has already pulled out twice but Chisora still has plenty of confidence he’ll get that dream fight. As for Fury he’s happy to take his time admitting he wants David Price next and then he wants the European Crown before moving on to the Klitschko’s.

Fury was shown up against John McDermott in both fights and Derek will have watched that fight very carefully to see what he has to do. Chisora holds more power in his fists than McDermott so Fury will hope to not get caught by any bombs as the fight wears on. It could be a back and forth fight like we saw in both Chisora-Sexton fights.

I believe though that Fury’s height advantage will serve him well to keep Chisora at bay when he doesn’t feel like exchanging before power forward with big shots. I can see Fury winning by decision in a highly exciting fights that could see a lot of drama and maybe a knockdown or two.
