Scores were 116-114 and 116-112 for Chisora, with another verdict of 116-112 going the way of the Bulgarian. The closeness of the scores reflects just how tight the battle was. 

Chisora was searching for revenge after losing to Pulev in 2016. He started the fight well by setting a ferocious pace and landing several heavy body shots.  

The industry displayed by Chisora soon became absent as Pulev forced his way into the fight, and he was able to turn things in his favour as the fight wore on. 

Both men put it all on the line in the final stages, and there was an eery anticipation as the scores were read out as the home crowd was desperate for their man to get his hand raised.  

Chisora got the nod, and his incredible story still has a few chapters left as he looks to secure another big fight with one of the heavyweight division's leading names.
