Tyson Fury has successfully defended his WBC heavyweight title after stopping Derek Chisora in the tenth round of their bout at the Tottenham stadium in London.

The heavyweight champion dominated Chisora right from start to finish with referee Victor Loughlin having to step in to wave it off.

Fury was fluid and effective with his punches and defended well despite Chisora offering less to give the champion a tight battle.

The victory means Fury will now look at the possibility of fighting Oleksandr Usyk, whom he had plans of fighting before failing to reach a deal.
