Donovan was content with moving off the back foot and rocked the Ukrainian in round three with a left upstairs.

Chukhadzhian was dropped in the sixth from a left uppercut. His come forward approach meant he kept getting caught with shots from Donovan. Chukhadzhian was dropped once more in round eight from a right to the head. Although it was ruled a knockdown, it was clear that he had been pushed down.
