WBC and Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) scored a dominating knockout in defeating Derek Chisora (33-13, 23 KOs) by a 10th-round technical knockout Saturday night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Fury retained his titles. It was a one-sided fight and in the tenth round, Fury landed a crunching combination that forced Victor Loughlin to put a stop to the bout at 2:51 of the aforementioned round.
“Firstly, 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’re amazing. I’m flabbergasted for words to say how much it means to me.
“I felt good. I needed some rounds. I haven’t boxed since April. It’s been 8 or 9 months since then. I’ve been out of retirement. I’ve had a lot go on. I felt like I was landing my jab, landing some good punches. I take nothing away from Chisora. He’s an absolute warrior. It’s been a privilege to fight him three times. He’s an absolute British folk hero. What a warrior. What an African British warrior. We’ve done three epic fights, and what a tough man. I was hitting him with shots that would’ve knocked anybody else out, and he stood up to every one of them.”
Shortly after Fury called out unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
