Overview
- The O2 Arena showdown in London, scheduled for Saturday, marks the 50th professional bout for both Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder.
- DAZN carries the fight as an exclusive pay-per-view, priced at £24.99 in the UK and $49.99 in the US/Canada, with main-event ring walks due at about 10.25pm BST.
- Chisora, 42, says this will be his final fight and enters on a three-win streak over Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin, while Wilder, 40, arrives at 44-4-1 with recent setbacks but says his confidence is “through the roof.”
- Thursday’s final press event featured repeated profanity that prompted on-air apologies from DAZN, and Chisora turned heads by arriving at York Hall in a tank alongside Nigel Farage.
- The undercard includes Viddal Riley vs Mateusz Masternak for the European cruiserweight title and Denzel Bentley vs Endry Saavedra for the WBO interim middleweight belt, and betting guides list Chisora as the favorite.
