Ben Davison, coach of Tyson Fury (27-0, 19 KOs) claims that his fighter could finish the fight against Francesco Pianeta by stoppage, but he did not get permission for it. In support of this, Fury published on Twitter a fragment of the record from the corner before the tenth round of the Saturday battle, in which Fury asks Davison: "Do I have to finish? Finish him now? ". To which he receives a negative answer.

Asked why he did not let his boxer finish the fight by knockout, Davison said: "At this level, discipline is more important than another knockout for advertising."

Tyson Fury defeated Francesco Pianeta on points, and in the next fight he will meet WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs).
