Ex-heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has described the recent fight between Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora as “sad to watch” after the bout in London.

Wilder won the contest, but Fury said he was not impressed with the performance of both fighters.

Speaking after the fight, he said the two boxers had declined from their peak years.

“I’ve never seen two men slide as much as these two. They look like a couple of club fighters from a white-collar match in a local leisure centre. It was sad for me to watch,” he said.

Fury, who has been out of action since defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, said he could return to the ring.

The 35-year-old said he “missed the game,” raising talk of a comeback.

He also compared the performance to his own standards, saying he would not continue fighting if he performed at that level.

“If I ever looked like that, I’d retire on the spot,” Fury added.

Fury fought Wilder in a trilogy and also recorded a win over Chisora earlier in his career.

He is set to face Arslanbek Makhmudov on Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in his first fight in 16 months.

Fury also spoke about a possible fight with Anthony Joshua.

“If it happens, great, if it doesn’t happen, also great.

“I’ve got Arslanbek Makhmudov to think of on Saturday night, but all going well [Joshua is] the fight I want,” Fury told BBC Radio 5 Live.
