Tyson Fury vs. Derek Chisora 3
Tyson Fury defended his WBC and Lineal heavyweight titles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, beating Derek Chisora with a tenth-round stoppage victory.
Fury (33-0-1, KO24) made his third defense of the belt he won against Deontay Wilder in February 2020, and previously faced Chisora twice, scoring in 2011 and forcing a tenth-round withdrawal in the 2014 rematch year. Fury was last in action, stopping Dillian Whyte in the sixth round in April, while Chisora (33-13, KO20) was coming off a win over Kubrat Pulev in his last fight in July.
Fired up, Chisora punched from the start and worked on Furia’s body early on. Fury began to unload midway through the first round and used his strength to sap the challenger’s energy. Furia kept Chisora at bay and a large uppercut troubled the Londoner in the second quarter and he was forced to deliver a left uppercut in the heat of the session. Early in the third period, Chisora’s right hand visibly wobbled and he was unable to stem the tide, landing several pristine shots in what was quickly becoming a one-sided effort. Fury finished the fourth round, returned in the fifth to re-establish his dominance, and his accuracy proved too much for Chisora to handle.
Traffic was one-way and Chisora’s right eye began to close before the eighth ten, sending him bankrupt in the round while still finishing second. There were sturdy grounds to withdraw Chisora from the battle, but he continued, barely getting off his stool to start round ten, and with referee Victor Loughlin looking for a reason to stop the fight, his chance came after the Fury attack and the fight was over.

Dubois experiences Lerena’s fear
Daniel Dubois made a successful first defense of his WBA heavyweight title, but had to overcome a sedate injury scare before stopping Kevin Lerena in the third round.
Dubois (19-1, 18 KO) was hit with a left hand in the first round and it looked like he sprained his ankle, falling backwards and eventually falling to the canvas.
The Briton couldn’t keep his balance and was forced to take refuge on the deck twice in the round, avoiding blows from the South African fighter.
Dubois had confined mobility and was looking for a large shot to end things, only to find that a hefty right hand knocked the guy down in the third round.

After Lerena (28-2, 14 KO) beat the counter, the champion crossed the finish line and did so just after the bell ending the session.
A right uppercut did the damage, and as Lerena fell toward the ropes, referee Howard Foster waved and waved the fight away.
It turned out that the cause of Dubois’s concerns was a suspected knee injury.
Berinchyk dethrones Mendy
The fight for the European lightweight title went to Denys Berinchyk, who added the belt to his WBO International belt after a points victory over former champion Yvan Mendy (47-6-1, 22 KO).
It was a fight that did not generate enthusiasm, and Berinchyk (17-0, 9 KO) was one step ahead for most of the fight.
Undercard remaining
The Ukrainian ultimately won the fight by one score of 117-112 and two scores of 116-112.
Karol Itauma did what he wanted, reaching the eight-round level for the first time, and the featherlight heavyweight fighter knocked down Wladimir Beluysky (12-6-1, 8 KO).
A pop-up left hand in the penultimate round put the Slovak on deck, and in the final stretch, Itauma (9-0, 7 KO) hit the gas and unloaded with a sturdy left hand, giving the referee a chance to call a stoppage in the contest.
Royston Barney Smith (4-0, 2 KO) started the gala with a bang, needing just over 90 seconds to defeat Cruz Perez in a scheduled four-round lightweight fight.
A sturdy counter left hand from the 18-year-old caused the Nicaraguan to fall to the pitch, and the referee did not allow Perez (3-4, 1 KO) to continue playing.
Tyson Fury’s cousin, Isaac Lowe (22-2-3, 6 KO), returned from his loss to Nick Ball and fought all six rounds in the featherweight division against Sandeep Singh Bhatti (8-5, 1 KO).
Another Fury relative, Hosea Burton (28-3, 12 KO), also tasted victory when he defeated Reinis Porozov (21-20-2, 14 KO) after six rounds in the cruiserweight division.
Tyson Fury described both Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois as “very constrained” compared to him ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury, who saw Dubois defeat Joshua in five rounds at Wembley Stadium in September, is preparing for a second fight with Usyk on December 21 in Riyad, seven months after his first professional defeat against split decision for the undisputed title of heavyweight champion.
The ‘Gypsy King’ insists he will box in a similar fashion when he faces the Ukrainian for the unified heavyweight titles, as well as facing his rival in midfield, something he believes both Joshua and Dubois were unable to do , when they stood against him.
– What can you expect from me? Fury said during his face-to-face meeting with Usyk TNT Sports.
“Basically the same thing I did before.
“Good boxing.
“It’s not normal for someone my height and weight to be able to box and move and slide, so why should I take that away from my game.
“People tell me: go up to Usyk, take him down and punch him, but if it was so effortless why didn’t Joshua do it, who is a massive, sturdy man?
“Why didn’t Dubois do it?
“These men are constrained compared to me, very constrained.”
The 37-year-old Usyk defeated “AJ” twice on points and stopped Dubois, and Fury became the fifth Briton to fall victim to him.
The Manchester athlete believes it cost him an impressive performance in his first outing and has vowed to remain focused when facing Usyk on Saturday in three weeks’ time.
“I belong to a boxer,” the 36-year-old added.
“Slip, slide, clip, hook.
“I’m going to do it, but with more focus.
“A little more focused on my job and I think that’s my path to victory.”
David Benavidez gave some harsh advice to Mike Tyson following his loss to Jake Paul last weekend.
Benavidez was one of millions of people around the world who witnessed Paul comfortably defeat an extremely faded Tyson to score wide unanimous decision victory.
At 58 years antique, “Iron Mike” looked like a shell of the man who ruled the heavyweight division in his prime, and some observers even believe he was carried by the YouTuber and could have been stopped at any time.
Despite the fact that the two only competed for two minutes, the fight was fully sanctioned and will go down in their records.
It was Tyson’s first professional fight since his loss to Kevin McBride in 2005, Benavidez said. Fighting Hub TV this should be his last.
“He needs to retire.”
Offering further analysis, “The Mexican Monster” explained that he was simply relieved to see the former heavyweight king leave the ring unscathed.
“It was a good fight and a good turnout, but I don’t want to see Mike Tyson fight again. Let’s hope he says it.
“𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😕

“It was a good performance, Mike Tyson won there and earned well, and he deserves it. I’m just content he didn’t get injured there.
“Mike Tyson is Mike Tyson, but 60-year-old Mike Tyson is different.”
In a post-fight interview, Tyson seemed interested in fighting Jake’s brother, Logan, but has since insisted on social media that he will not return to the ring.
The series has reportedly attracted approximately 108 million viewers on Netflix, making it by far the most-watched boxing event in recent memory.
Tyson grossed an estimated $20 million, while “The Problem Child” is believed to have grossed about twice that amount.
Benavidez spoke at the press conference kicking off his Feb. 1 fight with David Morrell, which is widely considered to be one of the toughest of his career.

The pair will face each other at T-Mobile Arena on Amazon Prime pay-per-view, with the winner all but guaranteed a shot at the delicate heavyweight world title.
After defeating Mike Tyson last weekend, Jake Paul once again expressed his desire to face UFC star Conor McGregor – only this time in an unusual style.
Paul threw plenty of taunts at McGregor in hopes of luring him into the ring, although the Irishman was largely reluctant to engage in any discussion.
“The Problem Child” faced widespread criticism after the fight against Tyson, who at 58 looked like a shell of his former self.
Even though the main event wasn’t much of a competition, it was a show it reportedly attracted 60 million viewers north on the streaming giant Netflix’s platform, making it by far the most watched boxing event in recent times.
Paul seems to have a penchant for large names now and took to Twitter to try and get McGregor to fight MMA.
“Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170 pounds. This never happens.
“But let’s do it in MMA. No weight category. Just like it used to be done. But you won’t.

‘The Notorious’ quickly responded by writing the following (now deleted) tweet, accompanied by a photo of 82-year-old US politician Mitch McConnell.
“Nakisa has already judged me, boy, this guy will be next after you. Good luck, buddy.
Paul McGregor fighting in the ring would not only be a test of skill, but also of ego. While McGregor has plenty of experience, Paul’s speed, size and unconventional approach to boxing could create an unpredictable outcome.
However, the Dubliner would be a huge favorite if they managed to get a fight inside the Octagon, even though Paul was younger and bigger.
Regardless of who wins, the fight will be a monumental payday for both fighters, and the fight will almost certainly be one of the most entertaining ever.
