Combat Sports UK’s Prediction
It will be hard to pinpoint what both men’s gameplan will be from the off.
Expect Fury to look to control proceedings early on with his sharp jab. Fury’s goal will be to look to utilise his significant height and reach.
Fury will spend the first few rounds using his reach to his advantage and chip away at Chisora.
Chisora will struggle to really find his way in the fight, with Fury expecting to be the dictator throughout the encounter.
Once Fury has Chisora’s number towards the midway point, expect ‘The Gypsy King’ to pile the pressure on a tiring Chisora.
With that being said, Chisora’s nickname is ‘war.’ So, expect him to give it his all until it’s physically impossible.
Unfortunately, the best version of Chisora is nowhere good enough to beat Fury.
Towards the midway point, heading into the later rounds, Fury will sense that Derek is tiring and then start to land heavy combinations and knock Derek out.
Prediction: Tyson Fury via seventh-round TKO
