and if they are successful they look set to be reunited in the ring in

"They're two different fighters now. Tyson has come on now and he is
a much better fighter than he was and so is Dereck. It's got all the
ingredients."

European champion Chisora will put his belt on the line against unbeaten Ukrainian Andriy Rudenko next month, whilst Fury's opponent is as yet unconfirmed.
Promoter Frank Warren said: "The plan is for both of them to come through their fights on the night and then the pair will meet in a massive rematch in June.
"You've got a guy who is undefeated in Fury who has made a name for himself. He's very outspoken and you've also got Dereck who's also been a controversial figure in his time in boxing.
"He's been beaten by Tyson in the past. Tyson won fair and square on the night. I think it's fair to say Dereck could have prepared himself better but that's no excuse.
"They're two different fighters now. Tyson has come on now and he is a much better fighter than he was and so is Dereck. It's got all the ingredients.
"The cherry on the cake is the prospect of it being an eliminator for the world title. It really has got all the ingredients of a super fight."
