Round 12 - Here we go! One round remains. A fairly standard final round. Chisora launches one final attack in the final minute, but Usyk seemed content to let the fight end. The bell sounds and the result will be determined by the judges scorecards. I think Usyk will take this, but it will be close. Usyk 10-9.

Round 9 - Chisora being more aggressive in this round and he's on the front foot. This could be his last big push to look for the killer blow here. He doesn't land the big punch but seemed more lively in that round. Just three more to go! Chisora 10-9.
Round 8 - A fairly quiet round, but Usyk is starting to control the tempo and the pace of the fight. Chisora not punching as much, a clear sign he doesn't have the energy anymore. The bell sounds and Chisora walks slowly to his corner. As you can see below, Eddie Hearn and I have different opinions! Usyk 10-9.
Round 7 - Chisora has stopped attacking the body which was effective in the opening rounds. Must be a sign he's waiting for the killer blow on the jaw. Usyk lands a combo of powerful punches at the end of the round which rattles Chisora, but the bell saves him. Usyk 10-9.
