Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora both passed their final drug tests following their trilogy fight earlier this month.
The hard-hitting duo competed in front of a crowd of around 60,000 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Fury landing the stoppage in round 10, when many felt the bout should have been ended earlier. He never looked in any danger and appeared to be landing at will in an incredibly one-sided mismatch which had baffled fans from the day it was booked.
Fury and Chisora were both tested under the VADA system, as part of the WBC's 'clean boxing' programme. The famous green belt was the title on offer in the fight, meaning that the fighters had to take part in VADA testing. It has now been confirmed they have successfully completed the period of testing.
The heavyweight title fight proved controversial from when it was first made given that Fury had already comfortably beaten Chisora twice in 2011 and 2014, back when he was closer to the peak of his powers. Fans were teased with the idea that the champion could face Anthony Joshua, but talks fell apart at the last minute.
And the bout proved to be, essentially, what had been expected. Fury was clearly the superior boxer from the off, and fired off shots whenever he wanted, taking little to no damage from his hard-hitting opponent over the nearly 30 minutes that they shared the ring.

The consensus amongst fans and experts is that at any point from around round six that the bout could have been stopped, given the damage Fury was inflicting. But Chisora survived until the tenth, taking severe punishment throughout before referee Victor Loughlin mercifully decided to step in.
It now appears that Fury will finally face Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title after the pair met at ringside following the win. The Brit went on a verbal tirade towards his Ukrainian rival, who stared a hole through him, likely not fully understanding what was being said.
