One of the highlights of last Saturday's huge card at London's O2 Arena, was the confrontation between heavyweights Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora, which took place during Young Mutley's fight with Frankie Gavin. Fury faces Chisora on July 23 at Wembley Arena for the British and Commonwealth titles. Fury claimed to The Sun that he had no intention of causing a scene at the venue. Moments after their near brawl, Chisora claimed Fury was looking for trouble in the stands.

"I got there and had every intention of keeping a low profile. I had tickets fairly far back in the arena and I just wanted a quiet night," Fury told the paper. "But my uncle pointed out where Chisora was sitting and a couple of my friends reminded me about some of the stuff he'd said in the papers about me not being a proper fighter. He'd been saying that my promoter Mick Hennessy had been trying to steal the British title from him to give it to me without us fighting, but that's just not the case.

"After they said that to me, I thought about it for all of three seconds before telling myself, 'I've got to have him for that'. So I ran down the stairs, jumped a couple of barriers and made it past security to the ringside barrier where I shouted, 'Oi, Chisora'. He didn't answer so I tried again with, 'Oi, Del Boy'. He turned around and I said, 'Who do you think you are talking about me in the papers? Do you honestly think you can get away with that?' He was lost for words so I followed it up by telling him that I'll knock him out when we fight. I told him I'd kill him. He looked scared and backed right up. Of course I said a lot more to him and was screaming abuse, but he backed up about 20 yards before giving it large about there not being enough money on offer.

"I replied with, 'Money? It's all about money is it? I fight for honour, not money!' So I ripped my shirt off and told him I'd fight him then and there. I did a bit of shadow boxing but no punches were thrown as Warren ushered him away. The shirt was off purely because it's a tradition type of thing. You don't have a proper scrap with your shirt on!"
