Derek Chisora unfortunately failed in his efforts to win the vacant European heavyweight tile in Hamburg, Germany on Saturday night. After being outpointed Kubrat Pulev.
In a contest that also doubled as a IBF world title eliminator. Pulev controlled the action with behind his jab and put together his combinations well to keep the Brit at bay and Chisora couldn’t get his power shots off.
Pulled eventually took the decision: of 118-110 and 116-112. The third judge surprisingly gave it to Chisora by 115-113.
It was a blow for Chisora who would have set himself up for a money spinning fight against Anthony Joshua if he would have won. It is not known what Chisora will do from here, but he is expected to keep on boxing. there are some big fights to be made for him in the UK, with the likes of David Price, Dillian Whyte, Hughie Fury, and who knows maybe a rematch with David Haye? All sellable interesting fights.
