The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium looks to be the likely destination for Tyson Fury's expected fight against Derek Chisora on December 3rd, with Spurs' home ground set to host its second world heavyweight boxing title clash.
ESPN have reported that an agreement is close for Fury to take on Chisora ahead of a potential unification fight against Oleksandr Usyk next year. Chisora was not Fury's expected opponent, with the Londoner having lost three of his last four fights, but he appears to be the next man up for the self-styled Gypsy King as he waits to face the Ring, WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Usyk.
There has been no confirmation that the fight will be taking place so far, but with strong reports and a change of venue emerging, it looks set to be taking place. Cardiff's Principality Stadium appeared to be the most likely destination for the fight, but now the North London venue looks likely to stage the second fight in the capital for Fury this year.

The home of Spurs previously hosted the fight between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk last year but will take on an entirely different feel for the next contest in the open air of a cold December night.
While creditable sources are stating that a fight is likely to happen, there are recent quotes from Derek Chisora which contradict this, with the 38-year-old saying that they are just rumours.
He told iFL TV when asked about a Fury fight in December. "No, I'm not. I'm serious. I'm not. I'm not," He said. "It's rumours. It's like someone says he's been cheating on his wife. Is he cheating on his wife? No, it's a rumour. I haven't been sent nothing. Nothing. I don't know [if I want it]. No, I haven't been negotiating anything. I don't know, would you like to see it?".
