It was hard work, but WBC champ Vitali Klitschko kept challenger Dereck Chisora at arms reach on route to a twelve round decision in Munich, Germany. It was a dominant performance from Klitschko, who was able to say clear of Chisora’s huge bombs and tag the Brit with the jab. Chisora bravely bulldozed forward throughout and had success through the middle rounds to the body and occasionally to the head, but Vitali, now 40 took most of the incoming on his arms and gloves. Despite a lot of provocation the WBC champ showed a good deal of self-restraint and class both before and after the fight were Chisora had slapped Vitali at the weigh in and looked to deliver low shots in the final round the fight. "This behaviour is unacceptable," said Vitali's younger brother Wladimir, who himself had water spat at him by Chisora earlier that evening. Add David Haye to the mix, and the evening erupted further as Chisora and the Hayemaker ended up grappling as fists, bottles and camera stands flew during the post-fight. The win takes Vitali Klitschko to 44-2(40).
