USYK’S TOUGHEST NIGHT⁉️ Oleksandr Usyk vs Derek Chisora | Full Fight | Sky Sports Boxing | 31/10/20
Oleksandr Usyk 17–0 (13 KOs) vs. Derek Chisora 32–9 (23 KOs), billed as Fright Night, was a professional boxing match contested between former undisputed cruiserweight champion and the WBO’s heavyweight mandatory challenger, Oleksandr Usyk, and WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight champion, Derek Chisora.
Usyk became the first ever four-belt undisputed cruiserweight champion in 2018 after winning the World Boxing Super Series tournament. Following his victory over Tony Bellew later in the year, Usyk made the decision to move up to the heavyweight division in 2019. Usyk made his heavyweight debut against late replacement Chazz Witherspoon, with Usyk winning by corner retirement in the seventh round.
Chisora regained composure following a loss against Whyte in December 2018, going on a 3-fight winning streak in 2019. Scoring a UD victory over Senad Gashi in April, and a second round KO over former world title challenger Artur Szpilka in July, a fight in which Usyk was in attendance. In the post-fight interview, after defeating David Price in October, Chisora’s manager, David Haye, commented on a potential fight with Usyk next.
On 11 March 2020, it was announced that Usyk would fight Chisora on 23 May at The O2 Arena in London. The fight was to take place on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and on DAZN in the US. Sky Sports’ Head of Boxing Development Adam Smith, described the fight a “classic Heavyweight clash”. If successful, Usyk would be first in line to fight for the WBO heavyweight title held by Anthony Joshua.
As part of his preparation for his bouts, Usyk sparred occasionally with former unified heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Chisora described the fight as his hardest ever. In preparation, he joked that he was taking dance lessons. Chisora said he would come at Usyk non-stop and aware he would have to take five shots before he would land just one. Usyk also acknowledged this was a tough step up in class for him and would treat it as a true test at heavyweight. Eddie Hearn revealed he was surprised Usyk took the fight, but was aware it was the fight Usyk needed to prepare for the world champions at heavyweight. He also said what Usyk gives up in terms of size and power, he would make up skill and speed, which would be key to victory.
For further preparation, Chisora had sparred Byrant Jennings. His manager David Haye was working on getting heavyweights to spar with Chisora who could closely mirror Usyk’s quickness. There was additional motivation for Chisora, as a win here would mean he would talk Usyk’s WBO mandatory status. Haye revealed the game plan was not to outbox Usyk, but to make the fight rough and high pressure from the start. Haye thought Usyk’s team were making a mistake in allowing this fight to take place. Usyk would be next in line to fight Joshua, who was scheduled to defend his titles against Kubrat Pulev later in the year. Usyk’s manager Egis Klimas stated after the Chisora fight, they expected the mandatory to be called despite Joshua and his team discussing long-awaited fights against Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.
On 17 March, there was already talks about sports events being cancelled around UK due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Usyk had not been as active as he wanted to be since his win over Bellew in November 2018. Usyk’s training camp was in isolation. Matchroom Boxing had already cancelled their shows around the world for March and April. Hearn confirmed he had contingency plans in place in case any fights were postponed. He had back-up dates in lined up for the Summer. As the days continued, Hearn admitted it was looking less likely the fight would take place on the original scheduled date. On 30 March, the British Boxing Board of Control extended the suspension until he end of May, following the guidelines from government and medical authorities, meaning the fight would be postponed. Hearn hinted the fight could take place in Saudi Arabia, if the country was to exit lockdown before the UK. He then said it could take place anywhere outside the UK.. It was looking likely that boxing events would take place from June 2020, without any spectators. Haye told IFL tv the fight needed to take place in front of a crowd.
A date in October 2020 was being discussed. Usyk and Chisora had continued to train for the upcoming fight.[26] The fight was pushed back to 31 October 2020 due to the and the venue was moved to The SSE Arena in London. According to CBS Sports, Chisora was a +475 betting underdog.[29] Usyk was reported to earn a £1.8 million purse. For his second heavyweight fight, Usyk weighed 217 ¼ pounds and Chisora weighed 255 ½ pounds, a 38 pound weight advantage.

👑 Fury DETHRONES Klitschko in Germany 🇩🇪 | 🥊The Throwback📺 | #TysonFury #FuryMakhmudov #Boxing
👑 Fury DETHRONES Klitschko in Germany 🇩🇪 | 🥊 The Throwback 📺 |
The ‘Gypsy King’ returns this Saturday night in search of more titles when he takes on Russian giant, Arslan Makhmudov, at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
The night he won his world titles though was the most important result in the modern-history of the heavyweight division.
The Klitschko reign was one of boredom as well as dominace. With the pair being superior than the generation they were a part of the Ukrainians fights rarely offered anything other than complete shutouts.
Wladimir, in particular, had been transformed by Manny Steward into a top defensive fighter who through the ease at which he defended his titles turned into a risk-free jab and grab boxer who the legendary trainer became, at times, frustrated by.
And when the unbeaten traveller ventured over to Germany hardly anyone gave him a chance but he dethroned the champion who had reigned for nine-long years atop the heavyweight division.
Fury’s win – and subsequent retirement – opened up the heavyweight scene enabling the likes of Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker to grab titles & even up the playing-field.

🥊The LAST TIME we saw the Bronze Bomber💣 #DeontayWilder #KO #Knockout #ChisoraWilder #Throwback
There’s not been many occasions where Deontay Wilder goes into a fight as an underdog and there probably hasn’t been a moment – pre-2025 – where he would be heralded as such against Derek Chisora.
But on Saturday night he will be that underdog when both fighters make their 50th ringwalks at the O2 Arena in London. Potentially for the last time.
If we’re being honest, the ‘Bronze Bomber’ hasn’t looked anywhere near his former WBC champion-self since, arguably, Robert Helenius; a man he blew out within a round, over three and a half years ago.
Heavy defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhelei Zhang have followed – the latter a severe beating before being stopped in the 5th – and a seriously undewhelming win over little-known Tyrell Herndon where his famous right-hand seemed to have deserted him.
And ff the Helenius knockout is the last time he unleashed that bomb of a right-hand then he can be incredibly proud of a long-reign as champ and to having been involved in one of the most iconic trilogies in boxing history.

🔥 George Foreman vs Ken Norton | FULL FIGHT | WBA/WBC/RING Heavyweight Boxing | 26/3/1974
George Foreman 39–0 (36 KO) vs. Ken Norton 30–2 (23 KO) was a professional boxing match contested on March 26, 1974, for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
Undefeated heavyweight champion George Foreman had little trouble in his two fights the previous year. First he captured the WBA and WBC heavyweight titles after dominating Joe Frazier, scoring six knockdowns in less than two rounds in an easy technical knockout victory in January 1973. Foreman would follow this by making his first defense against José Roman in Tokyo in September of that year, easily winning the bout by first-round knockout. For his second defense, Foreman was matched up against Ken Norton for a March 1974 bout held in Caracas, the capital and largest city in Venezuela. Ken Norton was coming off two successive fights against Muhammad Ali in 1973, winning the first fight in March by split decision (famously breaking Ali’s jaw in the process), and then narrowly losing the second by another split decision in September. Norton’s impressive performances against Ali made him one of the top heavyweight contenders for Foreman’s titles, but the future hall-of-famer was installed as a 3–1 underdog against the hard-hitting champion and given little chance of obtaining a victory. A week before the fight had happened, promoter Don King, banking on a victory by Foreman, had already signed a deal that would see Foreman make his next defense against Ali in the “Rumble in the Jungle.”
A 3 to 1 underdog, Norton was back in a familiar position, promised less money than Foreman ($200,000 to the $500,000 George was guaranteed), and deemed a solid underdog to the hard-slugging Texan. If Caracas seems like a strange destination to hold a heavyweight boxing event, there was a practical reason it was sought out as the host: an agreement had been reached stipulating all taxes would be waived.
Don King produced the initial guarantee, a $10million letter of credit from Carl Lombardo, a 34‐year‐old Cleveland construction millionaire. King earlier had persuaded Lombardo to put up $400,000 for the Foreman‐Norton bout here.
