Chisora vs Wilder Undercard

All undercard fights confirmed by MF Pro / Queensberry and will be updated if there are late changes.

Why are Chisora and Wilder fighting each other?

This isn’t a typical heavyweight fight between two fighters at their peak, or even up and coming. This is a clash of two seasoned veterans, looking for one last hurray. Chisora however is on a late-career resurgence, winning his last three fights. Wilder, by contrast, remains one of the most dangerous punchers in boxing history, but his output has dropped sharply, throwing just 204 punches across 12 rounds against Joseph Parker, shows the age is affecting his output over 12 round fights.

If Wilder lands early, it could end instantly. If he doesn’t, Chisora’s relentless pressure could turn it into a gruelling, one-sided finish. Across his last 6 fights, Deontay Wilder has lost 4 times and averaged under 20 punches landed per round; a sharp drop from his championship peak.
