HEAVYWEIGHT champ Tyson Fury has told The Sun he will knock out Derek Chisora — then watch England knock Senegal out of the World Cup.
The Gypsy King, 34, is so confident the Three Lions will win their last 16 clash that he’s planning to fly to Qatar for the quarter final.

And he said of his fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: “I’m looking forward to putting on a show. I’m feeling fantastic. I always win and so will England.”
Tyson vowed to defy the World Cup booze ban and bring beer into the stadium for a potential England quarter final.
The boxing champ has laid off the alcohol ahead of tonight’s big fight with Brit rival Derek Chisora.
But he said he’ll “get messy again” in Qatar when rather than if Gareth Southgate’s team beat Senegal in tomorrow’s last-16 clash.
On a visit to the Sun HQ, heavyweight legend Tyson joked the alcohol ban at the stadiums was “no bother” for him.
He said: “I’ll put it up my top. Who’s going to stop me?
“I’m not an alcoholic, I’m just a devil for the drink.”
He plans a “wild lads’ holiday” at the football without wife Paris, 32, or their six children.
Tyson, who bought £1,000-a-time rounds for England fans at Euro 2016 in France, vowed: “I’m 100 per cent going to get messy with the fans. I’m known for that.
“I’m going to sneak a few cases in my suitcase.
“They can have anything they want — whatever gets them going.
“Think of Euro 2016 when I went to Nice and bought 200 fans Jägerbombs.”
Tyson also wants to meet skipper Harry Kane and the Three Lions players for a pep talk to spur them on in a potential quarter final against France or Poland.
He said: “I would tell them forget about what you’re thinking, just go and f***ing win.”
And his message to them before tomorrow’s Senegal game would be: “You’ve done all the hard work to get into this position so just go out there and enjoy the game.”
Grinning Tyson also pledged to stay “indefinitely” if England win.
Singer Chesney Hawkes also visited The Sun yesterday after England dubbed him their lucky mascot following his half-time performance during their Group B win over Wales.
Tyson duetted with Chesney at our HQ and said of our plan to fly the singer back to Qatar to play his hit The One and Only: “Fantastic stuff. Get him back out there. He can take me.”
Despite his planned boozy antics at the World Cup, Tyson has revealed he will stay sober for Christmas, saying: “I’m going to try and stay away from the alcohol and eat sensible and eat clean.
“It’s only a four week period. If I can get through that then January we will be here and back to work.
“I intend to just stay on the straight and narrow and spend time with the family.”
I would tell them forget about what you’re thinking, just go and f***ing win.
Tyson Fury
Tyson claimed to be retired after beating Dillian Whyte in April.
But he returns to fight Chisora — who he has beaten twice before — at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London.
Tyson admitted: “I was very bored. It was a short retirement.
“Paris wanted me out of the house. She’s happy I’m back.”
But he says he will retire in a year and will become a used-car salesman in Morecambe Bay, Lancs, where he owns a £1.7million house.
Tyson, married for 14 years, wasn’t able to spend his anniversary with Paris as he was training.
He said: “I sent her flowers but you have to make sacrifices for success. There are no secrets to getting it to work.
“From my side just say ‘yes’. A happy wife is a happy life.”
On his ring return, he added: “My real reason is I need to keep myself well in my mind.

Fury vs Chisora 3: Date, live stream and TV info for huge heavyweight bout
“When you come across someone in their early or mid-20s who is fighting because they need to get off the streets and it’s do or die, then you have a problem.
“There’s nothing that I can achieve, I’ve won every belt there is to win.
“I’ve not got any thoughts. I’ve fought for a lot of things in my life.
“I suppose fighting for sanity is every bit as good as fighting for all that s**t.”
Revving up for his big fight, he remembered his epic 2015 battle with Ukraine’s Wladimir Klitschko, saying: “Klitschko said to me while I was on stage, ‘You really want my belts, you really want my belts’.
“I said, ‘Do I f*** want your belts? I want to smash your teeth in. That’s what I want. I just want to beat you up.”

They’re all pretty good.
Anyone who gets in the boxing ring, I’ll leave it to the fans to decide.
How would you describe the feeling of being punched by Tyson Fury?
To the normal person on the street it would probably feel like getting run over by a Landrover Defender but to a boxer it’s no biggie.
We get punched in the face daily in training camp. Big hits.
