Derek Chisora takes on Deontay Wilder in a mouth-watering heavyweight showdown in London this weekend.
The main event at the O2 Arena will pit a British icon against an American icon, Chisora will be fighting for the last time as a pro (or so he says), and Wilder’s own boxing future may be in jeopardy.

For the 42-year-old Chisora, the end of his life is already near but he continues to fight but vows that this fight with Wilder will herald his retirement. Meanwhile, Wilder has looked to be fading in strength in recent years after a long reign as WBC champion, but the 40-year-old said he will continue to box after this fight.

Might Wilder’s defeat change his mind, though? He has a 2-4 record in his past six fights, with three knockouts, including two by opponent Tyson Fury. Although Wilder is known as the toughest puncher in heavyweight history, he has also appeared more hesitant of late.
In Chisora, he’ll be facing a very resilient fighter, one with tremendous ability and keeping the swing. That’s all you need to know.
