Tyson Fury has blasted Dereck Chisora as "a puppet" ahead of their clash at Wembley Arena on Saturday night.
The two fight it out for the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles and Fury can be backed at 2.10 for the victory while Chisora is at 1.72.
Chisora can't speak for himself, he's like a puppet.

Fury hit out after Chisora failed to show at a press conference due to comments made by the English champion last week.
"Chisora can't speak for himself, he's like a puppet - he needs a puppet master to do the talking for him because he hasn't got the brains to talk for himself," said the 23-year-old.
"They pulled out of our press conference because of what I said last week and yet James DeGale gave George Groves a relentless amount of abuse leading up to their fight and Groves never missed a press conference.
"It all sounds a bit hypocritical to me. Of course I apologise for saying that I would kill him, no fighter wants that to happen and you know that I have a strong faith in God but it was just in the heat of the moment."
The fight is 1.66 to go over 9.5 rounds and 2.10 to end before that point.
Fury added that he believes he will take Chisora's British and Commonwealth belts on Saturday.
He said: "It seems to me that the people around him know that Chisora was able to bully other opponents but he can't do that with me and they know that his reign as champion is coming to an end, they know that his world title chance is out the window on Saturday night."
