No more competitive than Haye-Harrison in 2010 was the WBC heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora in 2022. Much like Haye-Harrison, this one carried the stench of an arrangement, or a deal, with Fury and Chisora having endured a long courtship which dated back to 2011 when they first boxed. Since then, they had boxed again, in 2014, and this fight in 2022 was the last and weakest installment of a trilogy nobody really asked for or wanted to see. By now, Fury was levels above Chisora, while Chisora, who tested Fury somewhat in their first fight, was a man clearly on the decline. This not only ensured that the fight was a mismatch, which it was, but it also had you wondering how it had been allowed to happen in the first place. Was it purely because Fury wanted to financially reward Chisora at this late stage in his career? Was it less a fight than a bit of charity? Did Chisora, the charity case, ever really think he was going to win?
