But Fury insisted he wants nothing more to do with Chisora, after his old opponent continued to pick against him.

It is just their latest in a series of fallouts, as SunSport runs down the storied history between Fury, 33, and Chisora, 38.

First fight, July 2011

Fury stunned Chisora - unbeaten at the time - over 12 rounds to win the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles.

Chisora was the betting favourite heading into the bout and saw a world title fight with Wladimir Klitschko axed as a result.

For Fury, who won in front of 3million viewers on free to air TV, he announced himself to the world as a genuine contender.

Rematch, November 2014

After David Haye pulled out of fighting Fury twice, the wheels were put in motion for a rematch between the pair.

It took place in Manchester, three years after their original, and this time Chisora was dominated and stopped in ten rounds.
