👑 THE GYPSY KING 👑 Tyson Fury retained his WBC heavyweight belt with a 10th-round TKO win over Derek Chisora. Fury — who came out of retirement for the bout — improved to 33-0-1 in his career.
Tyson Fury retained his WBC heavyweight belt with a 10th-round TKO win over Derek Chisora on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Here’s what you need to know:Chisora has now lost four of his last five fights.
Fury has now beaten Chisora on three separate occasions: a unanimous decision in July 2011, a 10th-round corner stoppage in Nov. 2014 and Saturday’s event.That’s a great question as I haven’t heard from one person who clamored to see these two in the ring a third time. Both previous fights were sound victories for “The Gypsy King,” and Chisora’s recent results left a lot to be desired.
In the end, this seems like a stay-busy fight for Fury. He needed to remain active in hopes of getting a title fight against legitimate competition in the coming months. —Let’s get this out of the way first: he’s not going to retire. He could use that term but it would just be talk. Fury is one of the greatest competitors in boxing for a reason and he now has a chance to show whether he’s still the best heavyweight in the world.
To do that, he’ll have to face WBA, WBO, WBC, and IBF heavyweight titleholder Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukrainian , a former undisputed cruiserweight champion, most recently defeated former champ Anthony Joshua via split decision in August. There should be no issues putting that fight together, but this is boxing, after all. If Usyk and Fury are unable to agree to terms, we could see Fury take on Joshua in one of the biggest British fights ever.
