Mike Tyson jumps on FaceTime call with Derek Chisora after he shows off BRUTAL eye injury
Mike Tyson jumps on FaceTime call with Dereck Chisora after he shows off BRUTAL eye injury following his trilogy bout defeat by Tyson Fury last week
Mike Tyson shared a FaceTime call with Derek Chisora following his brutal trilogy fight defeat to Tyson Fury last Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The 6ft2in heavyweight fighter was left battered and bruised following his third loss to the Gypsy King, after the fight was stopped in the 10th round with the 38-year-old spitting blood and sporting a cut under his eye.
Following the defeat it appears Chisora has had one of boxing’s most revered figures calling to show his support.

Posting a picture on his Instagram story, Chisora appeared to be sharing a FaceTime call with none other than the youngest heavyweight champion of all time, Tyson, and was all smiles as the Hall of Famer raised a fist to the camera.
While we’re unsure what he said to the former undisputed heavyweight champion, we can see Del Boy is still healing from the effects of the fight, boasting what appears to be a plaster under his eye.
It proves the beating he took from Fury, who after the bout, confronted Oleksandr Usyk, calling the Ukrainian a ‘little midget.’

The Gypsy King, who came out of retirement to fight Anthony Joshua, a bout which never materialised, claimed his 33rd career win against Chisora.
Chisora meanwhile also said he had no intention of retiring, despite having lost four times in his last five outings.
Speaking on the 10th round stoppage, Chisora said: ‘The ref was right, I was not doing much.

‘Fighters never want to stop but that’s why the refs are there, because we have to go home to our kids.
‘It was fun, I did enjoy it. I’m not retiring yet. F*** that s***. I want to go on the road now for more fights.’
While Chisora did beat Kubrat Pulev via a score decision in July, questions are starting to arise on whether he should think about hanging up the gloves.
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is one who thinks that the heavyweight should call time on his career before he gets hurt.
He told iD Boxing: ‘You’re putting him in tough fights for a lot of money and I don’t think he should be in those fights necessarily anymore after a payday like that and after getting beat like that.
‘So in my opinion, I think it would be a good time for him to step away. But Derek’s his own man and he’s a great man.’
