Fury too strong for Chisora
Managing to place his shots, Tyson Fury always put Derek Chisora in more difficulty, transforming this fight into a cakewalk whose outcome seemed already written.

It was finally in the tenth that the referee of the meeting Victor Loughlin decided to end the massacre against a Derek Chisora who staggered dangerously. For the 33rd time in 34 fights and the 24th before the limit, Tyson Fury wins and retains his WBC world heavyweight champion belt. “I felt good this (Saturday) evening, I did my job well, I sent some good shots, confided the Briton from the ring a few moments after the conclusion of the fight. I thank Derek Chisora, he is a warrior, a British hero. He’s the only one who’s always stood up to me. »
