Heavyweight boxer Zimbawean British Dereck Chisora could face giant Mancunian Tyson Fury in a June rematch showdown according to promoter Frank Warren.

The two could fight as soon as February following David Haye having to pull out of his fight against Fury due to shoulder surgery which is likely to result in the end of his career.

Chisora and Fury could appear on the same Febraury 15 BoxNation card at London’s Copper Box, and a summer duel could happen if they win their respective fights next month.

Warren, who is keen for a rematch after Fury beat Chisora on points in July 2011, said: “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.

“The cherry on the cake is the prospect of it being an eliminator for the world title. It really has got all the ingredients of a super-fight.”

Chisora’s representatives have no made official comment on the prospect, but Fury’s promoter Mick Hennessy poured cold water on Warren’s hype because they “have not received any contract to look at” for the proposed fight.
