'Get Eddie Hearn on the phone' - Derek Chisora pokes fun at Frank Warren during Tyson Fury press conference

Derek Chisora jokingly rang Eddie Hearn during the press conference to announce his fight against Tyson Fury which takes place on December 3rd.

This came amid talk of how they would go about selling the fight, with Fury facing the 14th ranked WBC contender in the 62,850 seater Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, but Chisora hinted that tickets could struggle to sell in the same way that Fury's sellout fight against Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April.

However, Tyson Fury is still one of the biggest names in boxing and Chisora's jibes appeared good hearted with those sat at the table in North London laughing during the exchange. Chisora, 38, has a friendly rivalry with Fury having fought the Gypsy King twice before in 2011 and 2014.

The exchange started with Warren telling Chisora to get ready for the fight, saying: "What you need to do now Derek is get yourself ready for the 3rd - you be there, we're going to have a fight."

To which Chisora responded: "You know what, we need to get Eddie Hearn on the phone and figure out how we're going to sell out this stadium - let's get Eddie Hearn on the blower."

He then preceded to take his phone out and continued to poke fun, saying: "You know what, let's get Eddie Hearn on the blower quickly." To this, Warren hit back, saying: "He can't help you, you've got to fight the big man (Fury) - he's (Hearn) gone into hiding."

Chisora ended the exchange, saying: "He sells these stadiums every day."
