The bout took place in Antalya, Turkey on 30 September. Wallin was the busier of the two boxers, and won by split decision.

In front of 13,000 in attendance, Wallin was defeated by Chisora via unanimous decision. He was knocked down in the 9th and 12th rounds in the IBF title eliminator contest. In the opening round, Chisora fought on the inside attacking Wallin's body. It was more of the same in the next round until Wallin landed several left uppercuts on Chisora.
He gained Wallin's attention in round 4 following a number of overhand rights. By round 5, Wallin was holding on. An accidental head clash caused a nasty cut between the right eye and eyebrow of Chisora.
Referee John Latham sent Chisora to the ringside doctor to be examined a few times for the remainder of the fight, but was allowed to finish the fight. Chisora tired himself out in round 8, when he threw a 30-punch combination, however not all clean punches and not all landed, but Wallin was hurt from this.
The first knockdown occurred in round 9 when Chisora landed right hand. Wallin stumbled back a few stops and lost his footing, ending up staggering backwards across the ring, onto the canvas. Another right hand to the head dropped Wallin again to close the final round. The scores read 117-109, 114-112 and 116-110 for Chisora.
Many felt the fight was not close. Fans took to social media to call out judge Bence Kovac of Hungary, for his 114-112 card. Had Chisora not scored the two knockdowns, his card would have been scored a draw, still giving Chisora an overall majority decision win.
