Wilder won the closely-contested and chaotic match, sending Chisora into retirement. The fight was characterized by hopeful knockout punches, infrequent jabs, and frequent slips by both boxers. While Wilder secured the victory, the fight's chaotic nature and Chisora's retirement have brought Wilder back into the spotlight.
