Deontay Wilder went into hostile territory on Saturday and picked up a pivotal split-decision win over Derek Chisora in heavyweight action at the O2 Arena in London, England. Chisora continued winging hooks at Wilder's body, while The Bronze Bomber started to find some success with uppercuts. There were fewer exchanges and a lot more grappling as Chisora forced Wilder to carry his weight. Chisora hit the mat twice in the fifth round, but it was due to Wilder pushing his opponent. That work paid off in the eighth when Wilder's power punches added up and he knocked Chisora through the ropes.
