Tyson Fury retained his WBC and lineal heavyweight championship with a one-sided beating of Derek Chisora in a mismatch that was finally stopped by the referee in Round 10 on Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Chisora, who has now lost to Fury three times, never landed a punch of consequence but absorbed plenty of such shots in a bout that looked like it surely should have been stopped much sooner.
Chisora's trademark toughness was on display throughout in what amounted to a tuneup bout for Fury, who is in talks to meet Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship in springtime in Saudi Arabia.
Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) retired after a sixth-round TKO victory over Dillian Whyte in April. After four months, he decided to return and announced his fight against Chisora. Fury also defeated Chisora by unanimous decision in 2011 and by 10-round TKO in 2014.
