Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora LIVE: Fight result as ‘Gypsy King’ retains heavyweight title with late TKO
Fury retained the WBC heavyweight title by securing a TKO against Chisora late in Round 10, beating his fellow Briton for the third time
Tyson Fury defeated Derek Chisora for the third time on Saturday night, securing a TKO of his fellow Briton late in the 10th round to remain unbeaten and retain the WBC heavyweight title.
Fury, who outpointed his friend Chisora in 2011 then beat him via TKO in 2014, dominated the main-event contest at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, before the referee waved it off after 38-year-old Chisora ran out of energy to fight back.
After the bout, unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk confronted Fury, 34, ahead of an expected clash between the pair in 2013 – with such a fight set to crown an undisputed title holder.

Here’s how Indy Sport broke the news that Fury was in talks to fight Chisora, back in August:
Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora in talks over potential fight this December
A third clash between the British heavyweights is being discussed, The Independent understands
Fury vs Chisora
With Fury being a superior technical boxer to Chisora, the “Gypsy King” is expected to fight behind his jab and outfox his compatriot with his movement tonight. Perhaps Fury will up the aggression as the fight wears on.
Meanwhile, does anyone expect Chisora to do anything other than give it to Fury straight, like a pear cider that’s made from 100 per cent pears?

“One of Tyson Fury’s most advantageous traits in the boxing ring, and most enthralling out of it, has always been his unpredictability. The ‘Gypsy King’s ability to awkwardly outbox opponents has perhaps only ever been matched by a similar capacity to outfox them verbally, and to stay several sizeable steps ahead of the masses.
“The Briton must hope, however, that his in-ring aura endures, because its equivalent out of the ring is starting to slip away.
“At October’s press conference at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, hours after it was confirmed that Fury would fight old foe Derek Chisora at that very venue on 3 December, the WBC heavyweight champion came face to face with his challenger.
“And while the eccentricities were as evident as ever, the excitement was absent, for Fury might as well have been reading from a script – continuing to play his part in a much larger work.”
Here was Indy Sport’s reaction when Fury vs Chisora was announced:
Tyson Fury is losing his greatest asset – his unpredictability
Thursday’s announcement of a fight with Derek Chisora was frustratingly predictable, as was the way in which the subsequent press conference played out
