Derek Chisora will face former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in London in April 2026. It is the 50th fight in Chisora's career.
The two names should have fought 13 years ago. However, Wilder withdrew from the fight because he was arrested for domestic violence, which prevented him from traveling to England.
Chisora last year said he would retire after his 50th fight which will take place overseas. However, now he is facing Wilder in London on April 4, 2026.
Wilder won his first 40 fights before drawing with Tyson Fury in 2018. He then suffered a losing streak to the Gypsy King in 2020 and 2021.
Chisora also faced Fury three times in 2011, 2014, and 2022. However, he lost all three matches.
Wilder was once considered one of the most feared punchers in the heavyweight division, but he has struggled to regain his aura since his trilogy with Fury.
The 40-year-old boxer's reputation has further plummeted after suffering consecutive knockout defeats to Joseph Parker in 2023 and Zhilei Zhang in 2024.
After being absent for more than a year, the American boxer returned in June 2026 and managed to secure a KO victory against the lesser-known fighter Tyrrell Anthony Herndon.
Although his career trajectory has recently declined, Wilder is still linked with a potential fight against two-time undisputed heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk. However, that could only happen if he manages to beat Chisora.
Chisora is enjoying a resurgence late in his career with three straight wins, including a points victory over Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin.
He has previously been linked with a third fight against long-time rival Dillian Whyte, or a possible chance to challenge WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley.
