Fury vs Chisora LIVE!
Tyson Fury brushed aside Derek Chisora in another brutal masterclass to successfully retain his WBC world heavyweight title on Saturday night. In front of 60,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ controlled a completely one-sided fight from start to finish to secure a third victory over his old friend and British rival.
It sent an emphatic message to Oleksandr Usyk, who was sitting ringside and afterwards faced off with his fellow champion ahead of a lucrative undisputed showdown between the pair that is hopefully set to take place in early 2023. If not, then Fury has instead pledged to fight Joe Joyce, who also muscled his way into the post-fight antics in north London. However, Fury’s admittance that he now needs elbow surgery will throw further uncertainty over the division.
Tonight’s undercard saw Daniel Dubois bounce back from an early disaster and potential knee ligament injury to retain his WBA ‘regular’ heavyweight title for the first time with an emphatic third-round stoppage of Kevin Lerena. There were also wins for Karol Itauma, Royston Barney-Smith, Hosea Burton and Isaac Lowe, with Denys Berinchyk outworking Yvan Mendy to win the European lightweight gold.
