Tyson Fury has successfully defended his WBC heavyweight title, managing to defeat Derek Chisora, paving the way for a potential showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.
With this victory, the 34-year-old Fury managed to defend his unbeaten record in front of 59,769 spectators at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
His opponent Briton Chisora, 38, suffered back-to-back injuries from the reigning champion until the referee was forced to stop the fight between them in the 10th round.
Meanwhile, Usyk, holder of the IBF, IBO, WBO and WBA titles, stood ringside in London.
For Chisora, it was the 13th loss of his 46-year career, and fourth in his last five bouts.
yson Fury retained his WBC heavyweight title and beat Derek Chisora for a third time with another emphatic victory.
The Gypsy King was never in danger of losing his unbeaten record, despite a battling performance from his 38-year-old opposite number.
Chisora went on the attack from the off, forcing Fury into a corner but not connecting with his shots.
It didn’t take long for Fury to rock the challenger with a succession of jabs in the centre of the ring in a feisty start to the contest.
With the crowd fired up from two memorable entrances, which included renditions of Three Lions and Mr Brightside, the atmosphere on a cold night in North London was electric.
And it went up a notch after Fury landed a flurry of punches late in the second round, leaving Chisora reeling.
Just three rounds in it looked like the fight would come to a swift end as the undefeated champion continued to dominate his opponent.
