LONDON — Tyson Fury easily retained his WBC heavyweight belt by stopping Derek Chisora again thanks to his overwhelming advantage of reach and height on Saturday.
Referee Victor Loughlin didn’t end the one-sided all-British fight until 10 seconds remained in the 10th round. It could have finished five rounds sooner and nobody could have complained. Not least Chisora, who could hardly see out of his right eye after seven rounds. “I felt good, I needed some rounds, I haven’t boxed since April,” Fury said. “I was landing good punches. What a tough man . I hit him with shots that would have sparked anyone else out.”Chisora was game and made good starts in the early going with a couple of flush rights to Fury’s face in different rounds. But Fury shrugged them off and inevitably took control with his jab.
The challenger, facing Fury for a third time, couldn’t stop the jab thanks to Fury’s reach advantage of more than 28 centimeters from a height advantage of 18 centimeters. Fury made a mockery of his control by showboating from early on when he looked like he could end the bout at any time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
