Overview
- Wilder, in a bout Saturday at London's O2 Arena on DAZN, won a split decision with scorecards of 115-111 and 115-113 against a 115-112 for Chisora.
- The fight was messy and dramatic, as Wilder scored two knockdowns and had a point deducted for pushing, with both veterans visibly exhausted down the stretch.
- Billed as his farewell, Chisora received a roaring send-off yet stopped short of a clear retirement confirmation after the final bell.
- The victory keeps the 40-year-old former WBC champion in the conversation for high-profile bouts, with media and promoters floating names like Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.
- Both men reached their 50th pro fight on a night set up by a 40-pound weigh-in gap and a late glove dispute that was settled before the opening bell.
