The BBBoC will not review Dereck Chisora’s stoppage win over America’s Malick Scott despite promoter Dan Goossen’s official protest.

The 32-year-old visitor put himself at risk of a count out because he did not start to rise until the count hit nine and was ‘counted out in the act of rising’ as per BBBoC guidelines. Smith also dealt with the claim that the referee did not hit the “10 and out” part of the count.
