In a rematch of a fight of the year contender in 2016, Heavyweight Dillian “The Body Snatcher” Whyte (25-1, 18 KOs) scored a spectacular eleventh round knockout over Dereck “Delboy” Chisora (29-9, 21 KOs) on Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London, England. The bout was a proper slugfest, as it was not a technical affair, but a violent one. Chisora lost a point in round eight and eleven, which didn’t matter as Whyte knocked him out with a left hook at 1:56 of the eleventh round.

At the time of the stoppage, Chisora was up on two of the three cards by one point.
