Chisora labours past Gashi with dreary points win in heavyweight clash at O2 Arena

WASHED-UP Dereck Chisora looked the shadow of his former self after a lacklustre points win over Senad Gashi.

The 35-year-old fan favourite was returning for the first time since being smashed by London rival Dillian Whyte last time out.

There had been calls for the veteran heavyweight to retire after that devastating loss, and nothing will change after this poor performance.

Chisora went hunting the nippy Gashi from the opening bell, trying to establish his jab to the body and head early on.

The Brit was being frustrated in the second and third, as his Albanian opponent danced around the ring, landing counters.

It wasn't until the fourth that the Finchley fighter landed his first meaning punch, a huge straight right that rocked his 29-year-old rival.

The fifth, sixth and seventh went by without anything of note, Gashi still moving around and Chisora failing to close him down.

Even the o2 crowd were getting annoyed by action, which was unspectacular at best.

The eighth came and went in a blur and the ninth saw a nice hook by Chisora, but not much else.

The Brit tried his best to land some big punches but Gashi was just too quick for him, despite a solid effort in the tenth and final round.

And that was it, the o2 crowd were left bored, as Del Boy took the scorecards 100-90, 100-91 and 99-91.
