Fight Preview

A potential heavyweight classic could be served in London in early April, as knockout specialists Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora collide. There will be pressure on both fighters to get the win, as a defeat for either could signal the end of their professional career.

Incredibly, despite winning 97% of his fights inside the distance, Wilder is a huge outsider for this fight. The American’s form is a concern, with back-to-back losses against Tyson Fury followed by defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

However, the once-dominant fighter in the division bounced back with a stunning seventh-round win over Tyrrell Anthony Herndon last June.

Chisora will be the hometown favorite in this fight. The 42-year-old has enjoyed a stellar professional career, winning 36 of his 49 bouts, with 23 wins coming inside the distance.

Despite coming up short in title fights against high-caliber opponents such as Tyson Fury, Joseph Parker, and Oleksandr Usyk, it could be argued that the Brit is better than ever after recording notable wins over Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin in his last two bouts.

Deontay Wilder vs. Derek Chisora Picks

This is a fascinating showdown. Chisora has shown his boxing IQ in recent wins over Wallin and Joyce, but how he contends against a knockout specialist will be fascinating. At the prices, it is worth taking a chance on Wilder rolling back the years and recording a much-needed win against a talented opponent inside the distance.
