Tyson Fury must make tough Oleksandr Usyk decision that Derek Chisora made obvious

Tyson Fury was aiming to retain his WBC heavyweight title when he fought Derek Chisora for a third time on Saturday night and he did just that, producing a calm and calculated performance to beat 'War' in front of a raucous crowd in North London.

The self-styled Gypsy King delivered in comfortable fashion to leave fans wondering why did we bother? With odds of 1/50 ahead of the fight, it was more than a foregone conclusion that Fury would win, however, Chisora produced a valiant display which will have given the paying public a feeling that it may have all been worth it.

It was the correct decision for the referee to stop the fight in the tenth round, with a heavy cut to the eye of Chisora. This meant that he lasted four more rounds than Dillian Whyte did against Fury back in April and this will be a source of pride for the Londoner given his rivalry with Whyte.
