Fury will still fight on Saturday

Tyson Fury will fight a yet-to-be-decided boxer in hometown Manchester on Saturday, despite the late cancellation of his world title eliminator with Dereck Chisora.

Chisora withdrew from the bout after fracturing his left hand in training.

"It is very frustrating that it has been cancelled, but my team will find an adequate replacement," said Fury.

Discussions are under way to reschedule the fight with Chisora later this year, probably in September.

The much-hyped Fury-Chisora fight had been billed as an eliminator for the right to meet IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

But Chisora, 30, pulled out on Monday, saying: "I can't tell you how disappointed I am, but it is on the advice of my specialist I do this."

Fury, 25, has also had two fights with David Haye cancelled in the last 18 months.

He said: "I have been training for months to get ready for the Chisora fight and am in the best condition of my life, so for this to happen again is a big blow.

"Whoever I face on Saturday will be in big trouble, I will take out my frustrations on them."

Meanwhile, Fury faces a British Boxing Board of Control misconduct hearing on 13 August for a foul-mouthed tirade against Chisora at a promotional news conference.
