Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora shared a heartwarming exchange after the Gypsy King visited his battered opponent's dressing room.
The trilogy fight between the heavyweight duo was predictably one-sided as Fury crushed 'Del Boy' with a brutal beating at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fury's pummelling lasted 10 rounds as Chisora was finally saved by referee Victor Loughlin when the fresh-looking champion unleashed an onslaught of searing punches on the forlorn veteran.
There were worries for Chisora's safety as his right-eye was nearly completely shut and his mouth bloodied before the fight was eventually waved as Fury retained his WBC title almost without breaking sweat. But while the duo very much settled in the ring, Fury and Chisora are good friends outside of the squared circle and they shared a warm embrace backstage.
Fury and his entourage entered Chisora's dressing room to check on his badly bruised opponent. And a touching moment followed between the two fighters as they shared jokes and interacted with each other's families.
Firstly, Fury showed his concern for Chisora, who reassured him he was fine before he was introduced to Fury's son Prince John James, 11, who was watching his father fight live for the first time.
And there was certainly no bad blood between the duo, who even feasted on Five Guys burgers as they indulged after going to battle.
Fury also shared a moment with Chisora's daughters, Angelina and Harare. The 34-year-old lifted Angelina before joking that she is 'pretty' because she 'takes after her mum'.
The pair also discussed plans for the future and Fury reveals how his wife Paris is keen on having another child. Fury joked how he will have to fight until he is 65 if he has another child with his childhood sweetheart.
The couple - married since 2008 - have six children and enjoyed a slow dance while holding celebratory beers in their own dressing room to toast the victory.
Fury ended the warm conversation by telling Chisora: "Listen, if you ever need anything, you know where I am. My gym's your gym."
Chisora had previously thanked Fury for handing him a surprise title shot and huge payday, while Fury praised his brave opponent in the ring for being an 'absolute warrior' as he battled on through the beating.
It was clear throughout the lengthy exchange that Fury has a huge amount of respect for Chisora, who suffered his 13th defeat of a gruelling 46-fight career.
But tougher tests are set to come for Fury in 2023, after he called out the undefeated Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, who was ringside in North London.
