DAZN: Chisora vs. Wilder

The heavyweight clash between Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder is one of the most anticipated “last dance” matchups in recent boxing history.

As of March 30, 2026, the fight has not yet happened. It is officially scheduled to take place this coming Saturday, April 4, 2026, at The O2 Arena in London.

Here is a summary of the matchup and what is at stake:

Fight Details

• Event Date: Saturday, April 4, 2026

• Venue: The O2 Arena, London, England

• Broadcaster: DAZN PPV

• Promoter: Misfits Boxing (MF Pro) in association with Queensberry Promotions

The Storyline: “The 50th Fight”

Remarkably, this bout marks the 50th professional fight for both men.

• Derek Chisora (36–13): At 42, “War” Chisora is widely expected to retire after this bout. He enters the ring on a high note, coming off recent upset victories over Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin.

• Deontay Wilder (44–4–1): The 40-year-old former WBC champion is looking to prove he still has his legendary “one-punch” power. After a rough patch following his trilogy with Tyson Fury and a loss to Zhilei Zhang, Wilder returned in 2025 with a knockout win over Tyrrell Anthony Herndon to set up this clash.

   

Tale of the Tape

What to Expect

The fight is a classic “clash of styles.” Chisora is expected to utilize his trademark relentless pressure to get inside Wilder’s massive reach advantage and turn the fight into a grueling “phone booth” battle. Wilder, now trained by Don House, will be looking to time a single right hand to end the night early.

The Stakes: While billed as a potential retirement fight for both, rumors suggest the winner could be positioned for a massive world title shot against Oleksandr Usyk or a domestic mega-fight against Fabio Wardley later in 2026.

Undercard Highlights
