April 4th 2026 Derek Chisora Vs Deontay Wilder Who wins and how? I know both fighters aren't well liked on this forum but myself personally, I cannot wait for this one, already got my tickets!! Only the second time Wilder has fought over here since he battered Audley. Both on their 50th fight and both have given us some exciting fights. This one will be no different. I'm obviously backing Del Boy and I think he stops him in rounds 7-9.
Great fight, the only thing is both guys seem a little too friendly on camera and I can't help feeling they will fix it, such as Delboy getting a percentage of the Usyk earnings for gifting him a KO, pure fantasy of course but that's the type of vibe I'm getting from these early promo's. This isn't the build up we all wanted from two of the best press conference guys in the sport and hopefully it heats up going into fight week. Glad it's at the O2, perfect venue for this fight.
Wilder is done. Nothing left. No snap, no speed, and technically poor. VS a guy who is shot, but somehow keeps grinding on, pushing himself forward to land clubbing shots often with some decent pop on them. Even in defeat Chisora has run the likes of Parker close. Wilder can't fight going backwards, Chisora can still bumble forwards and land some decent shots. He's used to going 12 and willing himself on even when gassed. Wilder isn't. Chisora stoppage.
It is tempting to gravitate toward definitive conclusions (xxx will flatten xxx), but to be honest I don't see it. I think Chisora will start off stronger, backing Wilder up and landing decent overhand rights, but after a few rounds he will be running on empty. From thereon in, a gunshy and sloppy Wilder will pepper Chisora, who at this point is saving energy languishing on the ropes, with wild powershots that are mostly partially blocked, interspersed with some signs of life from Chisora before he goes back to the ropes. I think the fight will be messy and difficult to score, and will resemble a unskilled, sloppy slugfest between shot fighters, because fundamentally that is what the fight is.
