Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora will do battle for the third time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight, with a shortened undercard and an early main event ring walk expected.
Fury has given his long-time pal Chisora a big opportunity in London this evening, with tens of thousands expected to bare the December weather for what could be his last shot at world honours in a glittering career. The bout comes eight years after their second meeting, which the champion won by stoppage after taking a decision in their first fight.
The pair have remained cordial in the fight build-up, but have also promised to stand in the middle of the ring when the bell goes and trade their biggest punches. And it won't be the only heavyweight title fight on the bill; Daniel Dubois puts his WBA 'regular' belt on the line against Kevin Lerena.

Full fight undercard
Daniel Dubois vs Kevin Lerena - WBA (Regular) heavyweight title
Daniel Dubois is back in action as he defends his WBA title for the first time after winning the belt from Trevor Bryan in a farcical mandatory title challenge earlier this year. He faces the tough Kevin Lerena, whose sole career loss was around eight years ago, and looks to land yet another knockout win.
Yvan Mendy vs Denys Berinchyk - European title
The European title is on the line when French champion Mendy takes on Ukrainian challenger Berinchyk on the undercard of this PPV show. The challenger hasn't lost in his 16 fights, and landed nine knockouts, but has been out since his country was invaded earlier this year and could be battling ring rust in London.
Karol Itauma vs Vladimir Belujsky
Unbeaten prospect Itauma looks to improve to 9-0 tonight, but has a stern test in the game 12-5-1 Belujsky. Originally from Slovakia but now based in Ireland, the 27-year-old has lost his last two, but remains active; last going ten rounds as recently as November 12 before getting back in there to take on a tough prospect.
Isaac Lowe vs Sandeep Singh Bhatti
There was talk that Isaac Lowe would be hanging up the gloves in order to corner Fury for this one, but he's opted to give it one more go. The Brit will take on a much less tricky opponent when he faces the Indian after being stopped twice in his last two, the second of which was a year ago to the day.
Royston Barney Smith vs Cruz Perez
Young prospect Barney-Smith finds himself on another Tyson Fury stadium show tonight when he takes on Cruz Perez. After two tough fights to start his career, he took a little bit of time off and returned with a blowout win at York Hall in September to make a real statement for the first time as a professional

Tyson Fury: "He’s changed his name from Dellboy to War and we’re going to get a war. I did outbox him comfortably the second time, but Chisora’s style has changed and, guess what, so has mine! I used to be a tippy-tappy boxer on the back foot, jibby jabbing around the ring."
Derek Chisora: "The same way he went to LA and Vegas twice, he went and physically and mentally took what was Deontay Wilder ’s and made it his. This is exactly what I want to do, I want to come to Tottenham and physically take what is his to make it mine."
