On being informed of the delay, Klitschko's German fans, already distinctly unimpressed by the challenger, made their distaste known with a hail of whistles and boos, which reached fever pitch when Chisora finally appeared.
While the Londoner's actions succeeded in making the fight a talking point, they had the unfortunate side-effect of angering not only the locals but also Klitschko, who had lost only four rounds in eight fights since his comeback in Chisora was giving away six inches in height and reach to the champion, meaning that many thought his pre-fight promise to be aggressive and fight on the front foot would be difficult to accomplish.
However, Chisora started well, demonstrating good head movement in the first round and landing with a couple of looping right hands, although Klitschko did begin to find his range towards the end of the opening stanza.
Klitschko landed with a punishing left-right combination midway through round two and followed up with three or four more right hands down the stretch, to all of which Chisora stood up well.
Chisora had some success to the body at the beginning of the third, but was stopped in his tracks by a thunderous uppercut and there were signs of desperation on the sound of the bell, the Englishman missing with a wild left hook that almost took him off his feet. By round four, Chisora was bleeding from the nose and mouth as Klitschko, fighting almost exclusively on the back foot, continued to break him down with his ramrod right. But a game Chisora kept ploughing forward, to the extent that Klitschko looked to be tiring by round five.
