Derek Chisora knocked down Sundsvall boxer Otto Wallin twice during the match and when the gong went for the twelfth and final round, the Briton got all three judges' votes, according to BBC.
Due to the loss, Wallin misses out on another top match. The winner of his match is intended to meet the winner of the upcoming match between Briton Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker, New Zealand, who meet on February 22. Further ahead, a match for the World Championship title beckons.
The emotional Chisora cried after the match, which is said to have been his last in the UK. The 41-year-old is at the end of a long career.
For Wallin, it was only his third loss in his professional heavyweight career. The other two have come against former World Champions, Tyson Fury in 2019 and Anthony Joshua, four years later.
