Rematch the 'only course redress' for Chisora

Frank Warren will demand an immediate rematch after Dereck Chisora was robbed of victory against Robert Helenius on Saturday night. Chisora won the vacant European title by a clear majority on most scorecards, but two of those that mattered on the night had Helenius ahead 115-113, with the Briton up by the same score on the third. It was rough justice on Chisora, who looked back to his best after suffering the first defeat of his career against Tyson Fury earlier in the year when he endured a troubled preparation. Helenius struggled to impose his superior height on Chisora, who was busier throughout and landed the cleaner shots. And promoter Warren is in no doubt that the EBU should call for the pair to fight again in the near future. "I know that sometimes I have a moan about decisions, but what happened on Saturday night in Helsinki was one of the worst decisions I've seen in the sport in a very long time," Warren said. "I don't know how Helenius can hold his head up high and claim that he won the fight when he knows he lost. "Helenius was supposed to be the next big thing and the man to challenge the Klitschkos, but Dereck totally exposed him and I'm being generous to give Helenius four winning rounds in the fight. "I'll be speaking to the EBU as well as the other organisations about an immediate rematch which is the only course of redress for this injustice to Dereck. "Dereck really proved that he is one of the top heavyweights in the world and he'll have Helenius' number when they meet again."
