In the third and final bout of their trilogy, TysonFury defeated Chisora by way of a technical knockout. There is a time and a place.
The referee stopped the fight at 2:51 of Round 10 at the Spurs Stadium in London because of the one-sided nature of the fight.
Chisora, who has now lost to Fury three times, never landed a punch of consequence but absorbed a lot of shots from "The Gypsy King" in a bout that looked like it should have been stopped much sooner.
Chisora's trademark toughness was on display throughout in what amounted to a tuneup bout for Fury, who is in talks to meet Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title.
The champ jumped up on the apron after he was called out. As he stood next to Usyk, he said, "You're next you little b---."
He mocked Usyk's two victories over Anthony Joshua.
"Well, I'm not a good looking person, you know what I mean?" he said. "You are ugly." It's time to get it on!
Usyk had two titles. The 35-year-old former undisputed cruiserweight champion smiled and absorbed the histrionics of his opponent.

One of the best fights in all of boxing is expected to happen next. He will need surgery on his elbow and will be out for six to eight weeks. He had surgery on his left elbow after his 11th-round knockout of Deontay Wilder.
He said he had a right hand injury. I don't know when I will be ready for this fight. It will be seen when it can be made.
He claimed to have retired after his April win over Dillian Whyte, but that was not the case. On Saturday, he picked up where he left off.
The English fighter's impressive offensive arsenal was on display throughout: a lead right-hand uppercut, a double jab that set up a straight right hand and plenty of mauling in the clinch.
With the temperature dipping into the low 40s at the outdoor stadium packed with nearly 60,000 fans, it appeared that Fury toyed with Chisora and probably could have ended the fight sooner. Afterwards, he admitted that he needed some rounds and that he was landing shots that would knock people out.
He was going to get knocked out if the referee didn't pull him out.
It was necessary for Chisora to be saved from himself. The 38-year-old's right eye was swollen shut and blood was oozing from his mouth when the fight was stopped.
He hit his opponent more than twice. In the last seven rounds, he landed more of his power shots.
Chisora has lost four of his past five fights, including a decision defeat to Usyk in 2020. The fighter was coming off a win over Pulev.
After scoring a unanimous-decision victory over Chisora in the first fight, Fury stopped him in the 7th round of the second fight. Chisora wants to see him and Usyk in Saudi.
He could retire, but he has a lot of fights left.
Tyson said that Usyk is up for the challenge Fair play to him. It's not easy to figure him out. He has good skills. Sometimes the big fights don't happen, but I think this one will.
We will have Joe Joyce at Wembley next year if it doesn't happen. I'll have Joyce at Wembley if the Usyk one happens. I am back on top of the world.
