TYSON FURY is getting ready for a huge heavyweight clash with Derek Chisora tonight.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be filled with fans who are eagerly anticipating the trilogy fight between the pair.

Tyson Fury is still defending an unbeaten professional record

The Gypsy King has beaten Del Boy twice before and has still yet to be beaten in his professional career.

Ahead of the tasty all-British bout, he sat down with SunSport’s Isabelle Barker to answer the questions every fan wants to know the answers to.

Tyson Fury Q&A

Favourite post-fight cheat meal?

Fish fingers, chips and beans. Very simple, I’ve even ordered it in five-star restaurants.

Dinner with three guests dead or alive?

Jesus Christ, Tom Jones and Elvis!

Which of the England squad would you most want to go on a night out with?

Jordan Pickford. He seems like a laugh to go on a drink with.

Drink of choice?

Anything cold and wet! 

Last song you listened to?

Chesney Hawkes singing!

If you could time travel where would you go?

This is a very complex topic. I used to always be obsessed with time. I always thought whoever controlled the element of time could control the world.

When asked what superpower I wanted as a kid I always said I’d want the ability to control time. However I’ve learnt to be very comfortable living in today’s world.

I wouldn’t want to go back or forward. I’m very happy living as who I am today. So I’d stay put.

Raid any celebrity’s wardrobe?

Michael Jackson hands down.

Ultimate walk-on track?

One of my happy songs is Biggie Smalls’ “Juicy” because the lyrics go ‘it was all a dream.’ For me it was all a dream that is now a reality.

Role model outside of boxing?

God. 

Fondest memory as a Manchester United fan?

Winning the treble in 1999. I think that is the highlight of any Manchester United fan’s life.

Top five fighters in the world, excluding yourself?

They’re all pretty good. Anyone who gets in the boxing ring, I’ll leave it to the fans to decide.

Describe the feeling of being punched by Tyson Fury?

To the normal person on the street it would probably feel like getting run over by a Land Rover Defender but to a boxer it’s no biggie. We get punched in the face daily in training camp. Big hits.
