Tyson Fury Stops Derek Chisora in 10<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>WBC Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury<\/strong>\u00a0(33-0-1, 24 KOs) once again demonstrated why he is the king of the division by defeating\u00a0Derek Chisora<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(33-13, 23 KOs) via 10th-round technical knockout Saturday night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The two men had faced each other on two prior occasions, but this was the first time that a world title was on the line.<\/p>\n

Chisora began the fight in aggressive fashion, but Fury was able to find his distance, work the jab from the outside, and land quick combinations. This boded badly for the Zimbabwe-born challenger, who was hurt with vicious right hands in the following two rounds and even appeared to be on the verge of getting stopped early.<\/p>\n

Fury then began to control the fight with much more ease, though Chisora did his best to connect to the body. In fact, according to CompuBox, the 38-year-old managed to land a total of 70 body shots throughout the fight, more than any of Fury\u2019s previous opponents.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Fury was much more successful with his own offense, landing 50 percent\u00a0or more of his power punches in seven of the 10\u00a0rounds. By round eight, there was visible swelling below Chisora\u2019s right eye, and it was clear that his corner needed to put a halt to the fight. However, in the tenth round, Fury landed a crunching\u00a0combination that forced Victor Loughlin to put a stop to the bout at 2:51 of the aforementioned round.<\/p>\n

Fury said, \u201cFirstly, I want to say thank you to my lord and savior Jesus Christ for giving me another victory tonight. Secondly, I just want to say what a fuc*ing crowd! Come on! 60,000 people here today. I love every single one of you people. You\u2019re amazing. I\u2019m flabbergasted for words to say how much it means to me.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI felt good. I needed some rounds. I haven\u2019t boxed since April. It\u2019s been 8 or 9 months since then. I\u2019ve been out of retirement. I\u2019ve had a lot go on. I felt like I was landing my jab, landing some good punches. I take nothing away from Chisora. He\u2019s an absolute warrior. It\u2019s been a privilege to fight him three times. He\u2019s an absolute British folk hero. What a warrior. What an African British warrior. We\u2019ve done three epic fights, and what a tough man. I was hitting him with shots that would\u2019ve knocked anybody else out, and he stood up to every one of them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Chisora said, \u201cYou know what, thanks to the ref. As a fighter, you don\u2019t want to stop. You want to go out in your shield. Thank you, Tyson, I really appreciate this. There is a big fight coming up. Everyone wants to see one champion in the heavyweight division. The last one we had was Lennox Lewis. I would like to see him and Usyk in Saudi [Arabia]. That\u2019s what we want to see now. That\u2019s the fight we should make happen now<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
