Chisora won the WBA International belt in a great fight with Pulev – World Boxing Association

Derek Chisora and Kubrat Pulev stepped into the ring as two heavyweight veterans and there was a lot of uncertainty about what kind of fight they were going to give the audience. However, those doubts were dispelled after they put on a great fight, which ended with a split decision victory for Chisora, who is the new World Boxing Association (WBA) International champion.

The British and the Bulgarian gave 12 rounds of action, threw many punches during the fight and gave moments of drama so that in the end the scorecards were in favor of the local 116-112, 116-114 and 112-116.

Although they were not quite on target with their punches and there were hugs in several parts of the fight, each had their moments in which they managed to move the other to get the crowd off their chairs.

In the end, Chisora got revenge for 2016, when he lost to Pulev in a close fight, something similar to what happened this weekend in London. 

The Englishman leaves his record at 33 wins, 12 losses and 23 knockouts. Pulev leaves 29 wins, 3 losses and 14 knockouts.
