‘Del Boy’ the Only Fool in Wembley

If we’re being succinct over it, Dereck Chisora’s defence of his British and Commonwealth belts against Tyson Fury was two tubby ‘lard-arses’ slugging for their lives.

A matchup between the 6’ 9” Fury and Chisora - seven inches smaller - was so eagerly anticipated among Boxing circles that only channel Five stumped up the cash to broadcast it.

Best of British it may be, but unfortunately this fight carried on the disappointing chain of heavyweights nowhere near ready to take on the World. The trio of Michael Sprott, Audley Harrison and Danny Williams have now left the scene to let these two relatively inexperienced fighters have a go.

Mancunian giant Fury unanimously, and deservedly, beat the cheeky Cockney named Del Boy who was far from savvy and generally just porky – weighing in 16lbs heavier than the last time he fought.

In a contest which was similar to the dynamics of David Haye’s disappointing clash with Wladimir Klitschko, Chisora was not hindered by a broken little toe, more the extra weight which he needed to get inside Fury’s disciplined jab.

Amid the flabby flesh on show, Fury was able to take a punch despite looking petrified of contact right through the fight, though only a handful of punches landed cleanly.

The local boozer around the corner from Wembley Arena may have been a more appropriate venue for Chisora’s first ever loss as a professional and, as a result, expect the aforementioned Klitschko- who has a habit of fighting ‘puddings’- to gobble up either of these two before the year’s out.
