Chisora was a massive underdog and in the build-up to the fight, Fury was expected to win comfortably and few will have thought that the fight will have gone on for ten rounds. Following the win, Fury was lauded by promoter Warren for his ability to sell a fight and praised the hevyweight by comparing him to the great Muhammad Ali.

After the fight, Fury was lauded by Warren: "In the time I've been in the business I have never been involved with a fighter who has so much charisma." Warren said.. "I don't care what anybody says, he is without a doubt the most entertaining person in boxing since Muhammad Ali."
Bob Arum added: "Remember, boxing is a form of showbusiness - there is no fighter on the planet today who is as much of a showman as Tyson Fury.
"95,000 will come out in the spring at Wembley in spring to watch him fight."
Fury went on to promise a big year with a planned fight against Usyk before a potential date with Joe Joyce also at Wembley next year. "Well, we're going to see the biggest year of my career in 2023," he said. "Now, I can talk about Usyk - I'm ready and willing to take on Usyk next, whether that's in Saudi Arabia or back here in the UK."
"If for any reason that doesn't happen, then we'll have Joe Joyce at Wembley as well." He added. "In my opinion Usyk is a slicker boxer but Joe Joyce is a juggernaut and he gives me a tougher fight than Usyk."
