Derek Chisora's coach defends decision not to pull fighter out of Tyson Fury bout

Derek Chisora's coach has defended his decision not to pull the fighter out of his trilogy bout with Tyson Fury earlier this month.

There was no question by around the sixth round who was winning the pair's heavyweight title clash, with Chisora already badly beaten by the champion. They had already fought twice before as younger men, with Fury winning both, and the Londoner was taking a brutal beating from the halfway point of the fight.

However, Chisora's trainer Don Charles decided against pulling him out of the contest, instead allowing Fury to continue his dominance until the referee stepped in during round ten. Charles has come in for criticism over the past few weeks since the fight, but believes that he made the right decision, offering to "educate" those who feel differently.
