AGIT KABAYEL has defended his European title in sublime style against Dereck Chisora.
The heavyweight bout went the rounds and the 25-year-old German was crowned the winner by majority decision.
The scores at the end of the bout were 115-113, 115-114, 114-114.
Kabayel started quickly and outboxed the former British heavyweight champion from the off.
He breezed the first six rounds – with Chisora looking sluggish and tired against the German professional.
Chisora managed to deliver a sequence of explosive blows, but the German defended himself well and escaped unscathed.
Kabayel now holds an unbeaten 17-fight record – 12 of which have been knockouts.
Despite not fighting since February, the German looked sharp and disciplined throughout the 12 rounds.
WILD AMBITION Deontay Wilder is fighting this weekend – but could he REALLY beat AJ?
Chisora, also known as Del Boy, has failed to claim the European title that he lost Tyson Fury back in 2014.
The London-based fighter has recently signed up to Matchroom Boxing and is chasing a rematch showdown with Dillian Whyte, who beat Del Boy by split-decision last December.
However, the 33-year-old may struggle to organise a rematch following this defeat.
After the fight, Chisora said: “I’m not going to complain, I lost the fight.
“I always bounce back so I’m not worried.”
