“Fury is very smart when playing with Derek Chisora to prepare for the confrontation with Oleksandr Usyk in the near future,” Lennox Lewis said. The former boxing champion also said he was not strange when Fury continued his chain of victory against Chisora, who lost to him in the two previous confrontations.
Assessing the match between Fury and Chisora, Lewis said: “Fury completely controlled the game from the beginning to the end of the match. If he wanted, he could finish Chisora at any time in this match. Fury actually only played with 80% of his ability at this upper station, but it was enough to win.”
On the side of Chisora, he received many pains from Fury. He only decided to stop after the 10th half ended. From the perspective of Lewis, he did not think this was a good result for Chisora, because Fury played him like “cat and mouse”. The referee even asked Chisora's training team to lose early.
In fact, there is information showing that Chisora will soon announce the retirement when he is about to turn 40 years old. Therefore, this veteran boxer is looking for more opportunities to earn more income before quitting, and a match with Fury can help him earn a few million pounds. That is why Chisora agreed to challenge.
