Michael Ridout, vice president for media at IMG, said: “Fury vs. Chisora III is set to become another historic event as Tyson Fury completes his second heavyweight trilogy following three epic bouts against Deontay Wilder.

“The Gypsy King will be looking to cement his position as the dominant champion in the heavyweight division, but, in Derek Chisora, you have an opponent who has nothing to lose. The deals we have concluded for this event show the global appeal that Tyson has from audiences and broadcasters around the world and we’re delighted to continue our partnership with Queensberry and Frank Warren.”

Warren added: “I’m delighted that our World Heavyweight Title doubleheader will go out to a huge global broadcast audience. Tyson is a generational talent who continues to attract huge audiences around the world and we are set for another massive night on Saturday.

“IMG continue to be the best in the business at media distribution, which is just one of the multiple verticals we work with them across as our partnership continues to strengthen.”
