When is Chisora vs Wilder? Date, tickets, undercard and how to watch fight

Derek Chisora takes on Deontay Wilder next weekend, as a mouthwatering heavyweight clash plays out in London. The main event at the O2 Arena will pit a British icon against an American one, as Chisora fights for the final time as a professional (or so he says), while Wilder’s own boxing future may be on the line. The end has long seemed near for Chisora , 42, yet he has continued to fight on, but he swears this bout with Wilder will herald his retirement.

Meanwhile, Wilder has looked a faded force in recent years, following his long, dominant reign as WBC champion, but the 40-year-old has suggested he will keep boxing past this contest .
