Chisora headlines the
action-packed card defending his European Heavyweight title against
undefeated and hard-hitting Ukrainian Andriy Rudenko.
If everything goes to plan, Warren says the rematch could happen in June at a football stadium in a huge summer showdown.
Warren
said: "I’m delighted that Tyson and Mick [Hennessy, Fury's promoter]
are working with us and he’ll have his first fight on the Copper Box
Arena show.

"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.
"Because
it’s the biggest fight out there for them and it’s a fight that the
public want to see the only place for it to happen would be a football
stadium, a real summer extravaganza between the big men of British
boxing before the World Cup.
"I’m already excited by it, Chisora
versus Fury is the biggest fight out there and it could certainly be a
world title eliminator.
But plans can be upset though. Chisora has
a by no means easy fight against a hard and undefeated Ukrainian in
Rudenko who’s knocked out 16 of 24 opponents.”
Warren also confirmed that Fury’s younger cousin, Hughie, will also feature on the Copper Box Arena show.

The 19-year-old heavyweight has excited the boxing world with his
devastating performances since turning professional last March and has
blazed his way through 12 opponents, stopping seven early, inside a
year.
Warren added, “Joining Tyson on the card is his cousin Hughie who is a top prospect in his own right.
He’s
certainly not hanging about as you can from his twelve fight in under
year which shows that he’s focused and dedicated to the sport.
