Derek Chisora was left with mixed emotions after he suffered defeat in his final bout, but only after an exhilarating fight of the year contender with Deontay Wilder at a raucous O2 Arena. “Some of the rounds were very close,” Chisora said, before he turned focus to Ringcraft Boxing Facilities managing director Mike Goodall. I came out of the ropes, I don’t know why and I’m just upset that I came out of the ropes. “I knew Derek was going to come and bring everything that he had to fight,” Wilder started. I looked after Derek tonight and I didn’t want to go too hard… I want him to live for his kids.
