Boxing, Tyson Fury is confirmed as world heavyweight champion: Chisora ​​defeated by knockout in the tenth round. Then face to face with Usyk

Tyson Fury completes another trilogy. After the two successes and a draw with Deontay Wilder, comes the third victory against Derek Chisora: confirming Gipsy King on the heavyweight throne in the WBC version. The match, which filled the Tottenham stadium, made more sense than one could have imagined on the eve: thanks obviously to the champion, who displayed his usual technical greatness. But thanks also to the challenger, who resisted until about ten seconds from the end of the tenth round, when the referee judiciously stopped the match. It was one of the two highlights of the evening. The other, perhaps the most awaited, was when Fury called Oleksander Usyk, the holder in the Wba, Ibf and Wbo belts, into the ring. ”Come rabbit”, he shouted, the Ukrainian didn’t have to say it twice and there was a very theatrical face-to-face which – the fans hope so – could be the prelude to a reunification of the category title most important that has now been missing for 23 years (the last one was Lennox Lewis).

And undoubtedly the feeling was that, precisely in view of a match that would have planetary feedback and in consideration of the fact that Fury is someone who, due to his tonnage (206 cm, he showed up in the ring at 121 kg), needs to fight, both this third chapter has been organized. There was no objective doubt about the outcome, even in the premises. Fury had clearly won on points in July 2011 (Commonwealth title at stake), he had repeated in 2014 (for European title), once again by knockout in the tenth round. Since then Fury has grown further from all points of view, Chisora ​​on the other hand has been on a downward spiral for a long time.

However, the challenger did not enter the ring to limit the damage, he tried from start to finish with short and powerful shots. It was paradoxically that he subjected him to severe punishment. Fury knows the art of boxing very well, he hit him repeatedly with an offensive jab and tried – often finding them – uppercuts at first glance, ran over him with quick combinations. in short, a match without history, but Chisora’s stoicism must be underlined
