Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Boxing fans pleaded with the referee to stop the match saying Tyson Fury would kill Dereck Chisora<\/b> would the fight continue<\/p>\n

Fury was the favourite coming into the fight and a win for the 34-year-old was always predicted.<\/p>\n

Many fans on social media wondered how the fight was not stopped earlier \u2013 with some concerned for Chisora\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

One fan said that Chisora\u2019s corner should have thrown the towel in earlier to protect their boxer \u2013 even after just three rounds.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail quotes one commentator as saying:<\/p>\n

Chisora\u2019s corner needs to stop this fight. Only three rounds in, and Fury\u2019s already trying not to hurt him.<\/p>\n

Chisora\u2019s eye had swollen up and looked badly hurt before the referee called it off in round 10<\/p>\n

Some fans were even more concerned \u2013 thinking that Fury could have killed the Zimbabwean born fighter if the fight lasted any longer.<\/p>\n

A fan pleaded with the referee to \u2018stop the fight before Fury kills Chisora,\u2019 with another referring to Del Boy as a \u2018walking body bag\u2019.<\/p>\n

The fight, which was eventually stopped after 10 rounds, was always predicted to be a mismatch with both fighters at different stages of their respective careers.<\/p>\n

Many boxing fans said Fury should not have taken the fight in the build-up with one viewer watching the Gypsy King\u2019s victory over Chisora saying: \u2018This is embarrassing from Fury to fight Chisora.\u2019<\/p>\n
