Tyson Fury has claimed Derek Chisora turned down £2million to fight him for a third time.
Fury outpointed Chisora in 2011 before stopping him three years later en-route to winning his first heavyweight world titles against Wladimir Klitschko. Fury always maintained he would fight the Londoner for a third time and called out his rival last week while making an approach to his team.
Chisora accepted the fight but rejected the terms on offer, leading to Fury backing out and announcing his retirement for the umpteenth time since his victory over Dillian Whyte in April. Fury went as far as to relinquish his Ring magazine belt but has yet to vacate his WBC world title.
And the champion took to social media to hit out at Chisora, saying: "I see Derek Chisora has been having a little pop; licking his wounds after losing £2million. God almighty, what a mistake, what a mistake! You're probably going to get £375,000 for your next fight and your management team turned down £2million.
"What jokers, a pack of jokers. Honestly, there's more brains in your little finger than your full management team will ever have. Where is someone like Derek Chisora going to get offered £2m ever again?"

Fury first retired following his seventh-round stoppage of Whyte at Wembley before backtracking to admit he would consider facing UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. Fury also claimed he was in talks with strongman Thor Bjornsson over an exhibition fight in November.
And the world champion has called out Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk who clash for a second time this weekend. He initially claimed he would fight the winner for £500m before insisting he would only face fellow Brit Joshua for free - and if the fight was free to attend and shown on free-to-air TV.
