Tyson Fury sends Derek Chisora trilogy fight contract after talks with Anthony Joshua COLLAPSE, says Eddie Hearn

EDDIE HEARN claimed Tyson Fury has sent Derek Chisora a trilogy fight contract after talks with Anthony Joshua collapsed.

Hearn officially declared that AJ's proposed Battle of Britain on December 3 with Fury was OFF after a breakdown in negotiations.

And he said the WBC champion, 34, has already sent Chisora, 37, a deal to complete their unlikely trilogy series.

Hearn told  "At the weekend, or Friday, Derek Chisora received a contract for the Tyson Fury fight.

"So have other fighters, so in our mind he's not fighting Anthony Joshua.

"We're more than happy to continue those conversations, but from what we've been told, the deadline has passed."

Fury, who beat Chisora in 2011 and 2014, initially wanted to unify the belts against Oleksandr Usyk, 35, who twice beat Joshua, 32.

But the Ukrainian hero ruled himself out until next year in order to rest and recover having returned home to his loved ones for the first time.

That led to Fury surprisingly calling out AJ and offering him a 60/40 financial split in his favour.

Contracts were being exchanged by promoters, all while the Gypsy King grew increasingly frustrated.

He originally set a deadline on 5pm on Monday, September 26 but then extended it by a couple of days.

Hearn claimed he returned a final revised contract last week but had not heard from Frank Warren's son George.

So he has declared the fight dead but remains open to reviving talks.

He said: "As far as we're concerned, the fight's off. I mean, we're happy to continue the discussions, we haven't had any of those discussions.

"Again, no bad words to say about George Warren anyway, and I've seen some of Frank Warren's comments.

"At the end of the day, you've got a guy putting in deadlines, telling us that the fight is off."
