    Anyone wondering what Fury has on his shorts?

    He has Prince on the front of his shorts waistband and Venezuela on the back. They're the names of his two children. Nice touch...

  2. Round onepublished at 00:38 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2014

    Tyson Fury towers above Dereck Chisora. A shuddering left jolts Chisora back before a body shot is landed by the taller man. Chisora has to get inside Fury's huge reach advantage but easier said than done. He does land with a couple of body shots but gets caught as he attempts to come inside. Lovely shot by Fury as Chisora bobs and weaves as he keeps coming forward.

    Chris McKenna, external for the Daily Star on Twitter: Weird feeling now. This is like the one after the main event. Needs to start fast to keep the crowd interested. Few have left for last train.

    Fury and Chisora exchanged heated words as Fury tipped the scales more than 20lb heavier than his rival, albeit with a tracksuit on.

    He refused to shake Chisora's hand as the Londoner said: "You're 6ft 9in but tomorrow night you'll be 5ft 5in."

    Fury replied: "I've beaten you once, now I'm going to knock you out."

    Both can talk the talk but who is going to walk the walk? We are about to find out.

    Surely this is win or bust for both fighters in their quest for world title glory.

    And both have already shown they have the heart for the battle.

    Since their last fight, Fury has been dropped twice, but has got up to win six of those by stoppage, and once on points.

    Chisora showed his sheer grit by going through 12 rounds with WBC champion Vitali Klitschko, taking shots, but never a backward step. This could become a slug fest.

    Coldplay's 'When I Ruled The World' is the ringwalk tune for Chisora, dressed in a Union Jack cloak.

    So when did you rule the world then Delboy?

  10. Beard or no beard?published at 00:28 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2014

    The big question in the build-up to this grudge match was beard or no beard?

    Tyson Fury's rather impressive facial hair attracts plenty of attention and the Mancunian held a vote on his Twitter account as to whether it should stay on for this evening.

    The answer? The beard was staying according to his Twitter account..., external but since then he has been told by Boxing Board of Control to shave it off. He is clean shaven.

    Tyson Fury comes into the ring to Barry White's You're the First, the Last, My Everything. Nice choice.

  12. Time to leave?published at 00:26 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2014

    The heavyweights begin their ring walk.

    For anyone at Excel taking the train this evening though, time to leave? The last train from the Docklands Light Railway leaves in five minutes.

    Surely you wouldn't leave now though? Would you?

    Andy Murray, former Wimbledon champion:, external Congrats to Saunders on the win and bad luck to Eubank. Fun to watch and both showed class at the end. Think we will see that fight again in the future! Now, Fury or Chisora?

  14. Del boy looking to upset the oddspublished at 00:24 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2014

    Dereck Chisora is the underdog with the bookies for a reason.

    He may have won 20 of his 24 fights - with 13 coming via KO - but he has also suffered some big defeats.

    His four losses came in the space of 12 months from June 2011 to 2012 and started against Fury. The likes of David Haye and Vitali Klitscho have beaten Chisora, although he has won his last five bouts.

    His most recent came back in February with a points success over Kevin Johnson.

  15. Fury's unbeaten recordpublished at 00:23 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2014

    Tyson Fury comes into the bout with an undefeated record from 22 fights.

    As many as 14 fights have been stopped or decided by knockout, including the last time he took to the ring against Joey Abell in February.

    He also knocked out Steve Cunningham in New York last April although some feel he is yet to test himself against an elite opponent.

    Fury defeated Chisora by a wide, unanimous points decision first time around, but that was more than three years ago. He has only fought twice in two years.

    Billy Joe Saunders reacts in the ring: "Fair play to Eubank. He had a good workrate but it was a bit too slow in the early rounds and I felt like he was going to push me on the last six, but I boxed well.

    "I'm only 25, he's only 25 so we've got plenty more to learn. But next stop for me is for the WBO title. I'm ready for a world title. And when I get the world title, I'll give him the first shot.

    "My Dad, over there, this belt is his Christmas present. He's always wanted a belt. So Merry Christmas, Dad."

    Ash Jung:, external Eubank Jr may be a beast, but Billy Joe Saunders is a boxer!

    Henry Withrington:, external Saunders won clearly. To blame? Eubank's corne. His dad seemed more focused on how he looked on camera than instructing his son!

    Chris Eubank Jnr reacts in the ring: "It was a close fight. I felt like I won most of the second half of the fight if not all of it. He's got a good engine, but I'll be back in the gym tomorrow. This isn't the end. Hopefully we can have a rematch asap. I felt like I won the fight but congrats to him.

    "He did what I thought he would do. He boxed to plan in the early rounds but then I thought I overtook him. But I'll be back."
