Online bookmaker 666Bet.com has stepped into the ring, penning a title sponsorship agreement with Queensbury Promotions for the long-awaited Derek Chisora v Tyson Fury rematch.
The WBO World Heavyweight Championship Final Eliminator takes place at Manchester’s Phones 4u Arena on Saturday 26th July, and the company confirmed that a representative will be live on BoxNation during the event with the latest odds.
CEO Barry Martin said: “For 666Bet this is another step in our commitment to support world-class sporting events.
“Our aggressive marketing strategy has seen us launch with a phenomenal 1,966/1 on England to win the World Cup and we’re also the new sponsors of Newmarket’s historic Bunbury Cup. We’re delighted to have teamed up with Queensberry Promotions to showcase what promises to be a cracking night’s entertainment.
“Tyson Fury has been tipped for the very top and all eyes will be on him as he renews rivalry with Dereck Chisora. The excitement around British boxing is experiencing a real high and fans cannot wait for this fascinating rematch.”
This fight will be the biggest of Fury’s career as he looks to become Britain’s first world heavyweight champion since David Haye with another victory over Chisora. The Mancunian’s 22-0 record includes 16 knock outs. The pair met in July 2011 when Fury won a unanimous decision over the Londoner to take the British and Commonwealth titles.
