Dillian Whyte congratulates Derek Chisora over his win against Kubrat Pulev. Chisora and Kubrat Pulev recently locked horns for the vacant WBA International heavyweight title. The fight was organised by Matchroom Boxing and was held at The O2 Arena, London, England on 9 July, 2022. Chisora came into the fight with the target to stop his three fight losing streak that started in 2020 against Oleksandr Usyk.

Before that the fighter lost to Anthony Joshua and failed to get his hands on the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO heavyweight titles.
Two veterans were ready to go against each other again since the first time they met in 2016 in which Pulev was the winner. The fight was incredible and very entertaining for the fans who went to cheer their favourite fighters. After 12 rounds of continuous back and forth, Chisora was declared the winner via unanimous decision. Judges scored the fight 112-116, 116-112 and 116-114 in favour of Chisora.
