Simon Jordan confronts Derek Chisora over unpaid bet on fight between former rivals Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte

Simon Jordan has claimed Derek Chisora hasn’t paid him for a bet they placed on Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte.

Fury and Whyte met in a huge all-British battle at Wembley Stadium in 2022, which saw the ‘Gypsy King’ stop his rival with a brutal KO in the sixth round.

Chisora had jokingly bet his ‘house’ on Whyte causing an upset by beating Fury, which many joked left him ‘homeless’ after his rival failed to deliver.

‘WAR’ had also put on a £100 bet with talkSPORT pundit Jordan that year, and the host confronted him about it on the latest episode of talkBOXING.

“Where’s my bet, where’s my money?,” Jordan jokingly shouted at Chisora.

“See how convenient, when he comes to his show fee he won’t forget that. But when it comes to his bets he won’t pay.

“It was £100 for Fury vs Dillian Whyte, you made some ridiculous claim about what was going to happen in that fight.

“You still haven’t paid it yet, I remind you every time I see you.”

Chisora responded: “Listen I owe you then. But you need to remind me, you don’t remind me.

“If I owe you money you have to follow up your debts you have to follow it up.

“If you want to get paid you need to follow up. It’d like sending an invoice if you don’t get paid, send another one.”

Chisora was adamant that Whyte would win, but was ultimately wrong, and friend and ex-rival Fury was quick to mock him.

The veteran actually fought Fury himself six months later in 2022, but was eventually broken down and beaten by the ‘Gypsy King’ in the tenth round.

It was a disaster for Chisora, but he is continuing to fight to this day, and most recently beat Joe Joyce in a huge upset in July

Fury meanwhile lost to Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed title clash in May, but the pair will rematch on December 21.

And Chisora believes it could be an even worse outcome for Fury in their sequel.

“I don’t think Tyson was 100 per cent when he walked into that ring," Chisora continued.

“He had a massive cut, he didn’t wanna get fined for missing the fight.

“He didn’t spar the way he wanted to spar, and he was under-prepared, under-prepared for that fight.

“The confidence was not there. And you’ve got to realise, he was mucking around for the first four or five rounds because the confidence was not there.

“I think Usyk stops him this time."
