Recently, the 33-year-old champ took to social media and posted several videos calling out his former opponent Chisora to sign a contract.

ESPN Ringside reported it on Twitter. They wrote, @Tyson_Fury wants @DerekWarChisora to sign on the dotted line.”

Fury posted two videos with the intention of provoking Chisora to sign a contract which according to the latter’s promoter Eddie Hearn was not sufficient.

“This one goes out to Derek ‘The s***house’ Chisora; you’re running Derek, from the trilogy. You call yourself ‘War’ but you should call yourself chicken because you’re running from the trilogy and from a career-high pay day. Get that f***ing contract signed,” Fury said in the first video.

In the second video, Fury labeled Chisora as ‘Joshua’s bag carrier’. He said, “Get KD Joshua’s bag carrier, to call me and let me get this deal end out like I’m gonna wine you out. Not a problem two seconds bang.”

Next, Fury shared another video on Twitter to answer why he is coming back to the ring.

In the clip, Fury introduced his new trainer and announced to come out of retirement to create history by landing two trilogy fights.

Following his retirement, the boxing world was expecting to see ‘The Gypsy King’ again for a fight against the winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua rematch. But Fury is so eager that he called out Chisora before this rematch.

‘The Gypsy King’ and Chisora had met twice in their professional career. Once in 2011, when Fury took over a decision win, and the second time in a rematch in 2014, where Fury stopped Chisora in the tenth round.

Since then, the duo has exchanged shots at each other and remained sour rivals. Now, it would be interesting to see if Chisora agrees to lock horns for a grudge match.
