The British rivals will clash at the Phones 4U Arena in Manchester in a rematch of their fight three years ago when an out of shape Chisora dropped a wide points decision to Fury.

The winner will go on to challenge reigning IBF, WBA and WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko, according to Warren.

Chisora has vowed to avenge his 2011 defeat to Fury at Wembley Stadium when they collide for a second time in an eagerly-awaited domestic heavyweight showdown.

'I'm excited. I'm looking forward to this fight,' Chisora told talkSPORT.

'Tyson has got one over me and he thinks he's the greatest fighter in Great Britain, but he's not.

'He hasn't fought any proper fighters, he's only been fighting cab drivers.'

Fury responded to Chisora's taunt by branding his rival a 'journeyman'.

'Chisora could be one of those cab drivers because I've already beaten him once,' Fury said.

'We're the best heavyweights in Britain and it will prove who should take on Klitschko.

'Chisora is nothing more than a glorified journeyman. I'm going to show you how much of a bum he is on July 26.'

Yes it's unfortunate there aren't any other heavyweights about in Britain and the world as well. Not as good as the 90s at least. I'm sure some good will eventually come out from the talent we currently have.

Is David Haye going to fight Fury at some point? I hope so, because he didn't do his 'legacy' any good by injuring his toe? wrist? fingers? I forget and then pulling out of the fight. Would be a good fight too, was looking forward to it first time round, shame it didn't happen.

Will be on Box Nation or 5 I expect. Not big enough for Warren to try pay-per-view or "Paper View" as some on here want to call it. That could be more interesting than this fight right enough!
