DEREK CHISORA refuses to retire even after his latest punishing loss to Tyson Fury left him spitting blood and spurning burgers.The 38-year-old veteran of 46 fights and 13 losses was battered over 10 hard-to-watch rounds by the WBC Gypsy King in Tottenham on Saturday.

And even 34-year-old Fury – who now has a hat-trick of wins over Del Boy – urged him to hang up his gloves after handing him a £2million payday and a thorough pasting.
The Brit had his nine and four-year-old daughters at the fight, where he was pummelled into spewing mouthfuls of his own plasma across the ring.
And he left with a jaw so bruised he could not even share one of his favourite post-fight Five Guys buns with concerned Fury, who visited his dressing room.
Chisora did narrowly outpoint Kubrat Pulev in July and he won early rounds against unified champion Oleksandr Usyk in 2020.

But he has now lost five of his last nine, struggles for fitness after four and has a trainer in Don Charles who is too brave on his behalf, so thankfully referee Victor Loughlin stopped the assault on Saturday.
But – unless the British Boxing Board of Control finds a way to refuse to licence – the fearless 18st hero insists he will keep on getting hurt for the entertainment of a few blood-thirsty ghouls – as the real fans now fear for his safety more than hope for his success.
And he is even threatening to travel abroad for more punishment, where local commissions unfamiliar with his heroic career might be more focused on their sanctioning fees than his health.
After spending an age with the medical staff at Spurs but refusing to go to hospital, he managed to mumble: “The ref was right, I was not doing much.

“Fighters never want to stop but that’s why the refs are there, because we have to go home to our kids.
“It was fun, I did enjoy it. I’m not retiring yet. f*** that shit.
“I want to go on the road now for more fights.”
Fury has threatened to fight into his forties but he seems to genuinely care about Chisora and hopes the pension pot he supplied is enough for him to bow out with.
He said: “I can’t speak for any other man, I can’t make decisions for him.
“Derek will have to make his own decisions, but he’s been in this game long enough and he will make the best decisions for him and his family.
“For me, I’d love to see him retire but still stay in the sport because he’s a legend in British boxing, he’s like a folk hero.”
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn – who made a lot of Chisora’s recent fights – also urged his fading star attraction to retire from the ring.
But this is the same man who tried to throw him in with monster-punching Deontay Wilder earlier this year, when the outcome could have been a far more gruesome execution than Fury’s excessive sparring session. More

Reports suggest the Gypsy King left North London with a rather lucrative purse that was much larger than his rival.
Fury made £20million, whereas Chisora left with £2m after their heavyweight showdown.
The Gypsy King stopped Del Boy in the 10th round to extend his stunning undefeated streak to 34 fights, of which he has won 33.
The popular Brit now has his sights set on a bigger challenge that could come with an even bigger payday.

The 34-year-old bruiser is targeting fellow undefeated heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk, who was sat at ringside in Tottenham.
The pair had a heated face-off on the ring apron, in which Fury roared: “Where’s Oleksandr Usyk, the rabbit?!
“Hey, rabbit! Usyk, you’re next little b****, you’re next. You are next!
“Me and you, sucker, next. Me and you! You’re getting it, little sucker. Rabbit! P***Y!

DEREK CHISORA thanked the referee for ending his fight with Tyson Fury – as boxing fans raged at Del Boy’s team for not throwing in the towel. Ref Victor Loughlin brought the contest to an end in the 10th round as the Gypsy King continued to dominate.

It was always going to be a difficult evening for underdog Chisora who struggled to deal with Fury’s power and brute force.
But his team showed no sign of throwing in the towel like they did in the second fight between the pair in 2014.
Eventually Loughlin chose himself to end the fight himself in the 10th round and give victory to Fury after Chisora’s corner refused to give up.
After the fight Chisora thanked the ref for ending the fight when he did.

He said: “The ref said, ‘If you don’t do anything else I’m gonna stop it.’ And the ref was right. You have to go home to your kids. As fighters, you don’t wanna stop. That’s why the ref’s there.”
Fans were not happy with trainer Don Charles and the rest of Del Boy’s team for not throwing in the towel themselves.
One said on Twitter: “Don Charles is an idiot, leaving the referee to do that. He shouldn’t have even been in the ring with Fury but after 5/6 rounds his corner has to save him there.”
Another said: “Don Charles has been awful tonight. He should have pulled Chisora out of the fight a few rounds earlier, instead of leaving it to the referee.”

And another fan wrote: “Don Charles failed his fighter there. Sorry have to say. Credit to Victor Loughlin there, a man with compassion. The best ref in the business.”
Despite the controversy, there were no hard feelings after the bout with Chisora and Fury sharing food and meeting each other’s children.
Fury also revealed that he may need work done on his right elbow before a potential 2023 undisputed heavyweight clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
The Ukrainian left fans amused by taking a phone call as he clashed with Fury outside of the ring. More

DANIEL DUBOIS was saved from a little-known rule that would have seen him LOSE to Kevin Lerena.The 25-year-old Brit was floored THREE times in the first round at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The North London crowd thought it was about to witness a major heavyweight upset on the undercard of Tyson Fury’s trilogy with Derek Chisora as the WBA regular champion dragged himself back to his corner after a nightmare opening three minutes.
Somehow he managed to recoup in the second round as Lerena’s momentum slowed.
And in the third Dubois then completed the turnaround as he dropped South African twice before referee Howard Foster waved it off.
But fans were up in arms about the outcome because of the WBA’s clear rule on someone being knocked down three times in a round.

Their rulebook clearly states: “It is critical to note that in bouts governed by the WBA rules three (3) knockdowns in the same round automatically end the bout by TKO.”
However, Dubois escaped because the British Boxing Board of Control – who sanctioned the fight – does not acknowledge the three-knockdown rule for bouts in Britain, so the fight was allowed to continue.
SunSport has contacted the BBBoC for comment.

Fans were also left furious for another reason, though, after the first round came to an end 12 seconds early.

Dubois was on his knees and looked to have injured his ankle before referee Foster signalled the end of the round earlier than he should have.
It was a bizarre sequence of events which led to Dubois retaining his WBA crown.
He now has a professional record of 19 wins and one defeat – with his only loss coming to Joe Joyce in November 2020.
Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk was in attendance for Dubois’ win over Lerena.
And Dubois may be a future opponent for Usyk if the undisputed clash with Fury does not get made – especially with the Gypsy King potentially requiring elbow surgery after beating Chisora.
As the regular champion, Dubois is in line for a shot at Usyk’s WBA super title. More

Fury’s stunning rant duly followed, as he said: “Where’s Usyk the rabbit?
“Me and you, sucker, next. Me and you! You’re getting it, little sucker. Rabbit! P***Y!
“Look, a 15-stone little midget beat a bodybuilder. But I ain’t a bodybuilder, sucker. I’m gonna write you off!
“I already done one Ukrainian in (Wladimir) Klitschko didn’t I? And I’ll do you as well, gappy teeth.

“You ugly little man. Lets get it on b****. You may laugh now but I’ll end this lil sucker. I’ll end you.
“You little sucker. What are you gonna do? You’re gonna do f*** all you little sausage.”
Despite Fury’s flurry of insults Usyk appeared to be unfazed.
He even hit back with a taunt of his own by taking a phone call on his mobile to leave fans in hysterics.

However, any unified fight between the pair may not happen until Fury has resolved an issue with his right elbow, revealing he may even need surgery.
He said: “I’ve got to maybe have surgery on my right elbow.
“I had the left one done, so I’ve got to have it done.
“It will take about six-to-eight weeks to heal. We’ll see when we can be ready for this fight.” More

It means Fury has continued his unbeaten professional record as he continues on his path towards an undisputed heavyweight clash with Oleksandr Usyk, who was watching on last night.
Despite the hard-fought encounter, there were clearly no hard feelings after the fight.
Fury joined ‘War’ after the battle and the two exchanged warm words and jokes.
Fury was joined by his eldest son, 11-year-old Prince John James, who shook Chisora’s hand after watching his dad fight in person for the first time.

The heartwarming exchange was then interrupted as burgers from fast food chain Five Guys arrived.
The two boxers continued their chat and at one stage clinked burgers as they gobbled down the meal.

The fight went as many expected it with Fury having too much for his opponent and retaining his WBC world heavyweight title.
Despite his best efforts, it was Chisora’s fourth loss in his last five.
It was Fury’s first fight since claiming he would retire after his victory over Dillian Whyte in April.
He can now look forward to a probable 2023 clash with Usyk – but potentially only after having work done on his right elbow. More
