Tyson Fury produced a dominant display to beat Dereck Chisora and retain his WBC Heavyweight Championship at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening.
The Gypsy King was in masterful form against a brave Chisora in front of another bumper boxing crowd of 59,789 in N17.
Stretching his unbeaten record to 33 wins and a draw, Fury produced punishing blow after punishing blow, particularly right uppercuts in the early rounds, until referee Victor Loughlin ended the contest 2.51 into the 10th round, Fury therefore winning via a technical knockout.
Main support bout...
London hope Daniel Dubois picked himself off the floor in the first round to beat Kevin Lerena of South Africa to retain his WBA Regular Heavyweight Championship and extend his record to 19 wins and one loss in 20 bouts. Dubois looked to have done damage to his right knee or ankle when he was floored, but managed to steady himself in the second round and then knock his opponent out after a barrage of punches at the end of the third. The referee stopped the fight at the end of that round, Dubois winning by technical knockout.
