Tyson Fury has been given the go-ahead for his grudge match with Dereck Chisora after escaping a ban by the British Boxing Board of Control.

The Board decided to fine Fury £15,000 after hitting him with a misconduct charge following a foul-mouthed tirade at a press conference in June.

Fury and Chisora will come face to face again at a press conference on Monday when promoter Frank Warren will announce further details of the November 22 showdown.

It is set to take place at London's ExCel and is likely to be an eliminator for the WBO heavyweight title as well as the European and British crowns.

The pair had been due to fight in Manchester in July but the bout was postponed after Chisora fractured his hand in training.

Fury won their first bout at Wembley in July 2011 via unanimous decision.
