Alexander Usik defeated Derek Chisora by unanimous decision (117: 112, 115: 113, 115: 113) and became the new intercontinental champion of the World Boxing Organization in the heavyweight category.
Usik came out quite questionable about the possibility of competing with the “kings” of the “royal division” Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Diontay Wilder, but it was still only his second meeting in the heaviest. The Ukrainian had a good chance to end the match early after a very strong seventh and eighth rounds, but Chisora held on and offered the British fans more than a decent performance against the preliminary favorite.
Anthony Joshua, the world champion of three of the four federations, was in the audience, and former World Boxing Council contender Dillian White was shown watching the fight on television.
This was the second heavyweight bout for Usik, who joined the belts in the lower division on July 21, 2018 with a unanimous decision against Murat Gasiev, and then on November 10 he defended them with an eighth-round knockout against Tony. Bellew.
Chisora has 32 wins and already 10 career losses, being in a series of three wins, the last of which was a fourth-round TKO against Davis Price in October 2019.
