Dereck Chisora Vs Tyson Fury: Injured Boxer Pulls Out Of British & European Heavyweight Title Match: Who Will Fight Wladimir Klitschko

By Kenneth Brown | Jul 21, 2014 03:52 PM EDT

On Saturday 26 June British heavyweight boxers Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury were set to fight one another, with the winner walking away with both the British and European Heavyweight titles, and something far greater. The winner would book themselves a world title shot against none other than Wladimir Klitschko, the world's most known, and respected boxer. However, today, Chisora pulled out with a fractured hand. How will Fury cope with preparing for yet another cancelled fight, and who will take on Klitschko in the fall?

Chisora explained, saying "I can't tell you how disappointed I am but it is on the advice of my specialist I do this. But once my hand is healed and I'm given the all-clear to train and punch again, I'll be working on the new date for the fight." However, one can understand if Fury decides to fight a different opponent.

The pair fought in 2011, with Fury winning on points, and many expected a similar outcome. The major boxing event had already sold thousands of tickets, with many at home planning to buy the event, but now the main event has fallen apart, it looks like it will lose a lot of it's pre-event hype.

What will happen next in the heavyweight boxing division, and is Fury the unluckiest boxer in the world? Before long British rookie Anthony Joshua will be considered as good, if not better than, his fellow British fighters, so they'd better get their hands on the world title belts while they still can.
