Absolute incredible fight between Dillian Whyte and Derech Chisora which lived up to its hype as both fighters went all out for 12 rounds in a closely contested fight. In the end it was Dillian Whyte who came out stronger to just nick the fight on decision which in all fairness could have gone either way.
The fight was close and the split decision was as close as you could have got with [115-114], [115-113] and [114-115] in favour of Whyte. Chisora will feel disappointed with the result as he had Whyte in trouble on several occasions but Whyte threw less but meaningful punches.
