Even back then people were calling for Chisora to retire. He's ancient now and arguably still a top 10 heavyweight. Unbelievable!

115-113 for me Usyk won but shout out to Chisora gave a great account of himself.

Tbf Usyk cruised this fight! Gave him 8 rds! Chisora did well to apply genuine pressure but was obviously picked apart

@TripleR250

Good effort by Chisora but it was no where near as close as people made out it was....the only one who got hurt in the fight was Chisora not Usyk

Usyk played everyone in his 1st heavyweight fights. Make it look closer, so he then gets offered the AJ fight, by looking a bit vulnerable AJ and his team and promoter, yeah we will fight him. Lol he played everyone. And look where he is, 2x Undisputed, the man is a machine. Wardley has no chance, Usyk's work rate is OMFG WOW,

Only 2 fighters today that can beat Usyk. Moses Itauma and Jai Opetaia. No one else.

Back when most of the experts said he was to small to beat the likes of AJ and Fury.

Chisora needed to retire back then he’s just begging for the Saudi money

@gabios12

Before I have hard sparring I usually watch a few rounds do this fight. So that when I find myself in front of a big lump I just tell myself to box like Sanya against delboy

You dont try to BOX USYK, YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO GO TO WAR.. Joshua had lost his faith in his own chin, furys chin is suspect amd he tried to box him in a competetive 2 fights but didnt impose himself. No one has try to out tough Usyk with a good chin since Chis.. I do think Wardley will give a far better account, on this basis, than anyone since Chisora

@Hartley90

@EagleScully

This may sound so rude but I don’t intend to, but Usyk looks like he’s aged rapidly from 2019-2025. He looks so different now compared to this photo from 2019…

Chisora was robbed of a knockdown in the mid rounds and possible a draw in this fight imo.
